[painting] detail from 'Flowering Orchard'
Detail from
"Flowering Orchard"

gnarled tree
a buzz of cherry blossoms
and bees

on the mountain
dry lightning splits the tree
flames race the wind

a flocking
of red-winged blackbirds
the clock falling back

the first snow
stepping outside
to smell it

the New Year
creeps up on me again
and I forget
the first dream
