The leaves started
Falling today–
The foliage crunched
Beneath the feet
As if I was stepping
On potato chips
Someone left scattered
On the ground
It reminded me of
That day we went
Looking for a dog
The little girl down
The street had lost
We never did find the dog
But the leaves then
Crunched as they did now
As I stepped on them
It was as if I could
Hear the little girl’s
Heart being crushed when
She realized her dog
Wasn’t coming back
The Space Between Me and You
