every leaf and twig
inscribed by light
writing the river bank’s ballad
Lyrics
Harmony
narrative of a perfect afternoon
written by the four parallels of
lines, light, water, rock
Iddy-umpty
morse code of winter
dots and dash of ice
arctic opus written in cold
Written There
the bird and insect’s canon
left for man and beast
hieroglyphics on trees
It Is Written
the small
writ large
blessing of spring
Earth’s Wrinkles
water is the earth’s skin
wrinkled by the cold
marks and ridges telling time
the oldest story ever told
Written
time and weather
write the story
of survival on the structure
