a bittersweet communication

The air tastes bittersweet today.
It's in the way the trees sway.
And how the grassy haulms fan out.
It's in the motion of the air,
As trash flies about like plastic birds.
But it's mostly in the way
The leaves crunch under my feet
It's mostly in the way they crunch under yours.
A bittersweet communication.
