Vermont – Leaf And Twig

Heading North In The Brave Little State

the green mountains
still wearing white
spring’s ascent is slow

every size and kind
of sunflower
under the sun

time is
best measured in
moments not minutes

rest
in the lap
of summer

sacred spot
where eagles teach
flight

at the inlet
awash in green
wind and current confer

by arm fulls
gather up the yards
of scented colors

fertile fields reside
along the river’s sides

Landlocked and wooden
this moai
is a tree deity.
