deciduous loss

do the trees know when they lose a leaf?
are they aware that they are dismantling?
one leaf after another.
i wonder about deciduous trees,
the kind that lose their green cloak
over a few chilling months
every year.

do they get cold?
do they mind losing their leaves?
do they feel like they too, are falling apart inside?

i don't know how
they do it so gracefully.
how do they stay strong
during a season of loss?

i wish i could handle loss
like
them.
