Pavilion of Leaves by Matthew Rohrer    Central Park in a pavilion of leaves with extra sauce for midday is only a snack and a photograph of cold cherries like a young woman's legs softly peeling after burning a pennywhistle in the distance with the piping children's voices which are distant peace in a breeze two white butterflies trying so hard   This is the first publication of "Pavilion of Leaves."
