Leaves do not choose departure. They are carried — released by the tree before they know they are gone. Each descent writes the season across stone, a script of impermanence in gold and rust.
Science confirms what poetry intuits: at the abscission layer, life severs from branch. A seam of cells performs the parting, invisible yet absolute. What appears gentle is in fact irrevocable — a truth as final as any signature.
To collect this phrase is to wear the knowledge that endings arrive before awareness, that beauty lingers even in descent. Like the leaf, we blaze before we go.
