each hole
a doorway where
life passes through
Early Departure
On The Bulkhead Door
disintegrated blossoms
rain and time
etch the cosmos
Stillness And Then Departure
remnants of the wasp nest
disintegrating leaves
upon a bed of departing snow
Last Year’s Leaves
while leaving
they reveal the beauty
of their complexities
The Old Birch Disrobed
time
takes her
seasons dress her
Reformation
pinked
from chilly nights
dew and disintegration
Return
the old metal door
and last year’s oak leaf
returning to the elements
Ephemeral Beauty
snowflakes cleave
to the ephemeral beauty
of the leaf’s disintegration
