The Leaves of a Banyan Tree

Sometimes, I ask myself
what if I can turn to a leaf?
a leaf of a big banyan tree
next to my house

That banyan tree has so many leaves
so many, that even after they fall to the ground
the tree still looks like it has never lost a single leaf at all
I say so, because every morning
I am the one who always
have to sweep those leaves away
with a broom

those leaves of the banyan tree
they were green before they fall
and turned yellow when they fall
and as the wind blew them away they turned brown
before they fell again to the ground
for one last time
as the deceased one
