The green leaf opens and the leaf falls,

each breath is a flame
that gives in to fire;

and grief is the price
we pay for love,

and the death of love
the fee of all desire.

Robin Robertson is from the northeast coast of Scotland. His third collection, Swithering, received the 2006 Forward Poetry Prize.
