and i 've conceived this one great spiral balcony like a whirlpool , made of carved-up wood rails , and in the right light , in the right time of day , as the three suns come up in the morning , the light passes through the balcony banisters in just such a way that it comes off as there 's a thousand autumn leaves falling through the window , only , if you plan it right , as the day goes on , the leaves look like they 're returning to the tree , falling up in a spiral , as if nuffing really ends , but only returns to where it started .
