all the departures of fall
echo all the departures in life
a practice of fond farewells
Heronry
the colony
begins with two
sentinels of progeny
The Explorers
emerging from their rock wall den
into the bright morning light
and hunting lessons
New
everything a wonder
the world
is brand new
Twins
double bloom
two white moons
light in light
Two Trees
These trees wear their limbs
like curly haired twins.
