October

dry leaves
   rattle
rustle
     in the evening
   breeze

each rasping
   sigh
dying
     a whispered
   lullaby

I wont get all poetic with it but I hear that to. From the sounds they make leaving their limb, hitting others along the way, and my favorite is when the wind says'More!' and pushes them across the pavement or a driveway. No rest.

There is something called the "death rattle" before a person dies which could be like rustling of leaves falling from the tree of life.
