going out with a bang

i spend the afternoon raking
leaves.
pulling them
towards the middle of the yard,
my hands curled 
on the wooden handle
as i work.
yellow and brown,
red and orange.
a bouquet of sorts
piled high,
from nothing, then green,
then to this,
going out with a splash of color,
a bang of sorts
is not a bad way to cease
to exist.
