1 fog streams into a foamy sea and gives the rising sun a river 2 silence snaps moonlight into flashes of winter springs on frosty day 3 one bird on thousand branches one river chirps for millions of insects 4 honeyed trees drip sap and being springs along with bees 5 sun speaks of fluid in springtrees fog conceals robins' eggs from the jay 6 papered snow brought first thoughts of warmtimes in wintercold revealed a moon 7 jewels glow underground while bare rocks tell us to dig our gardens elsewhere 8 loose twigs scatter sun-light giving leaves a refuge to fall 9 shaky holds on a slippery skylight up to rooftops of winter listening to moonlight 10 folded velvet-creased skies hold up the moon with silver speckled hands |

rain clouds blow in spring winter loses her grip on the earth 12 one leaf left to come to winter's invite spreading tense and jumpy paper 13 scraped and scoured the sun's eyes bring wrinkles on the wrong horizon of flesh and years 14 one opal necklace falls on opened breast autumn confused about spring 15 scraggly hairbranches spread sunlight into a thousand shadows and sink --- moonrise 16 hasty stars go ten inches two light years take twenty years and we wonder 17 flashes of sunrays pour and pound into the very base of moon's eyes 18 birds' snow-muffled cries resemble a struggle long ago in spring 19 two and three coats of snow help streets become manna for dusty people 20 awkward ties are made between faces and fibrous fingers trees are never confused 21 woodchuck's its weight around dams and trees in less than a spring came in and finished... 22 snatch your every and call it your all while you live |
