Life is Sweet

The forest.

Where the closest thing

to candy

is the autumn leaves,

brightly colored

and scented sweet,

you almost want

to nibble them,

to roll in the scent

of their death.

How can death

smell so sweet?

One thing

must always die

for another to live,

so I suppose

death is

equivalent

to life.

I guess

what I'm saying is:

life is sweet.
