outline – Leaf And Twig

Electric Marigolds

a current runs amongst them
each yellow edge
conducting color to the next

a light
without light
is how memory is made

barely noticeable at first
the white outline gathering
on every branch and blade

known by
the outlined edges
of her boundaries

tiny white outline
halo
on hallowed leaf

the shadow reveals
another definition
of self

barest
outlines of colors
before leaves unfurl

finger of snow
tracing every
branch and leaf

outlined as it is obscured
all the same
the bridge remains
