is the veil thin

whispers from a(nother?) world

i don’t what it means that the veil is thin
but the world is being turned over

i don't know how to tell if the veil is thin
but the sycamore leaves go 
green to brown
right on the branch and
collect in a carpet and
the spindle branches of bone
show themselves and
the maples behind
self-immolate

i don't know if the veil is thin
or from which world i hear whispers:

death is part of life
letting go and lying fallow is
part of abundance

i don't know if there's another world
but this one 
emerges stark
and knowable
out from under 
exuberant summer
