Spring
over greening trees
the ashen face of winter
watches the sunrise
–
peep frogs-
rainfall on
the river
over greening trees
the ashen face of winter
watches the sunrise
–
peep frogs-
rainfall on
the river
angry bitter tears
burn as they roll down her face
and fall to the dirt
–
arid fields-
dust gathers
around his feet
a cobblestone path-
the back garden gate flanked by
rose bushes in bloom
–
spring breeze-
the cloying scent
of honeysuckle
this taste of sunshine
after the dark dry winter
barely slakes my thirst
–
crokus blossoms-
eagerly defy the
lingering winter
watching from afar-
a tree falls in the forest
the silence unheard
–
old oak tree-
climbing vines
reach for the su
the low morning sun
full of threats and promises
through the falling snow
–
skies alight-
the rumble
low and throaty
locked in my safe room
the world burning down outside-
is it hot in here?
–
crimson sky-
ashes drifting
on hot winds
coruscating snow
slithers across the highway
hastened by the wind
–
morning sun-
cherry blossoms
in the snow
after the thunder
the sun dances in the snow
through the parting clouds
–
winter morning-
a snowy egret
dips her bill
a vial of poison-
reminiscences of you
held up to my lips
–
desert skies-
reflections of death
in the watering hole
