ivy veins
electrified
with living
Like Lightening
Winter’s Design
mosaic of ice
the ground’s
beauty enshrined
Through The Missing Part
the past
watches over
us
A New Way Of Being
brittle and brown
a mirror
for light
Becoming
in saying goodbye
the leaf became
a butterfly
Like Honey
luminous autumn light
sticks to every
leaf and twig
Contained
all transformations
of the seasons change
assembled in the now
Venetian Blinds
shade
is drawn
by leaves
Fall’s Shift Of Light
every contrast more potent
the color wheel
gaining speed
Times Of Stark Relief
the light
of a certain kind
of sunflower night
Buds In Blue
infinitesimal the progress
towards spring
until the sudden unfurling
Brittle Suppleness
in every contradiction
a thread
of continuity
The Geranium
offering
some holiday cheer
before it disappears
Proclaimed
wear
the blemish and scar
as beauty marks
Winter Illustration
cold highlights
the edge
of everything
Mysterious Waters
was that
the last of summer
swirling on the surface?
Origami
fold lines
sharp on the leaf
making mountains
Competition
not to be outdone
by outside
the houseplant’s leaf
Early Departure
each hole
a doorway where
life passes through
Deep Listening
everything in the world speaks
the air, the stone, the leaf
it is we who must become fluent
Fig Leaf
in an attempt
to cover the sun
more of itself revealed
Green Chaos
each leaf and stem
and bloom
holds a precise place
Water’s Geometry
a point drops
and races into a line
to become a circle
Purity Of Line
a rise
and fall
of color and form
Golden Goblet
for the fairies banquet
fresh rain water served
with a leaf stem straw
Spring Tracery
the grand design
each leaf and petal
in it’s perfect place
Hoisted By Branch and Twig
each leaf
an unfurled flag
of optimism and renewal
Gilding
that applied
gold leaf
The Bronze Leaf
of rescuing winter
from the encompassing grey and white
Aging
the structures behind
suppleness
