vastness
contained in
the small center
Expansion
Geometry
lines and intersections
angles of angles
the fluency of plants
in the language of math
In The Presence Of Departures
as leaves are leaving
the tree’s structure emerges
written in colors
a poetry of absence
Deep Listening
everything in the world speaks
the air, the stone, the leaf
it is we who must become fluent
Braile
the old tree’s message
is read
by the wind
Goodbye Note
in the language of leaves
summer left behind her message
I will return
Pileated
Red cap matching cranberries
the stealth woodpecker
taps out his morse code.
