Two leaves are on a branch. One has broken free while the other is still fastened tight.
The leaves have eyes and mouths like humans.
What are they saying to one another?
It's not you. It's November.

"It's not you, it's me" is an excuse people use to break up with a romantic partner gently; here one leaf is falling away from the other in a break-up like fashion. But, it's only because leaves fall from trees in Fall/november. Unlike the original expression, the modified one doesn't imply anyone is at fault for the breakup.
