This is a totally abstract poem, but I personally thought it hinted at death. "After the leaves have fallen" makes me think of the end of life. When a leaf falls, it has died, and I think Stevens is pondering life after death. I could be way off about this, but it seems like Stevens is scared of death because he can imagine no more. Once one is dead, one cannot fantasize or dream anymore. It is over.
Again, this can be totally wrong, but since this poem is so completely abstract, it is tough to extract its true meaning.
