heartwood
splintered by storms
once more
I brush blind fingers
across the dome of sky
~The Bamboo Hut 1:2, Jan. 2014
Bible verses
carved on trees
sending their roots
still deeper
into Earth
compost: I unearth
my desire to rise
through the roots of trees,
to become at last
a harvester of light
~Ribbons 9:1, spring/summer 2013
