this
sweet season
sugars everything
Sugar Wood
stacked last July
in hopes and preparation
for this year’s syrup making
Sugared Leaves
the season of sweetness
not just
maple’s dominion
Sweetness
maple lace
almost sweeter
than syrup
Sugar House
first smoke plume of the season
the sap is on the boil
sweet sugar time
Sugaring
First the sap runs, then drum drum drums
drop by drop into the buckets.
Soon to be simmered, then rolling boiled into maple syrup.
Oh that sweet sweet nectar of the mountain.
