spreading oak-
each family a world
unto itself

taking time
in the cemetery
for some shade

off the path…
we pause to inspect
the fallen tree

where the crack
in the tree
brought it down

so predictable
the way things go
nicely for awhile
and then the trouble
with one thing after another…

at the edge
of the woods
a still life

garden walk-

she checks herself

in the pond

alone
in the field
a tree with its shade

behind the wheel-
yet another of his
personalities

a tree
growing up inside
an old tractor tire

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace

the way
a tree will absorb
a thing

the farther away it gets
the more magical it becomes,
those times at night
in the back seat,
my parents taking us someplace....

the mystery
of where we all go
at the end of the day…

Class in the forest
they all look up
to the trees

cross work
of bark near the base
of the trunk

one tree
one bird, one song
the dusk

being there
all alone without
