oaks decorated
with circular wounds
their own purple hearts

bumpy ride
roots of white oak
digging upwards

Northwest trees keep green
all year round…their shifting shades
seen only by owls

maples at sunrise
each crimson leaf luminous
each tree a starburst

roofs motley with leaves
reds, golds, and yellows shimmer
ghosts of morning rise

autumn’s trees disrobe
women enshroud themselves, veil
summer’s naked limbs

last light seeping through
branches– summer sinks away
a child’s paper boat

wearing a straw hat
I clean my yard of tinder
neighbors pass, no words

a breeze shakes the leaves
and wings away into night
another friend passed

self-rewinding watch
tied to a willow’s branches
breeze keeps time for me

by a swimming pool
a gnarled oak– water and light
dance on her branches
