thick stump
an ant crosses the growth rings
into my childhood
Tag: trees
gnarled banksias
entwined like old lovers
along the track…
how many years now
have we been together?
over my thoughts the hush of pines
juncos black
silhouettes in birch trees
notes on a tangled clef
yoshino cherry tree—
it was never a question
of if
wind through the pines
your hair
falling off my shoulder
overnight
the leafing returns
to this dying oak
beneath my hand
such desire for spring
