Here where light’s shadows
Languidly lengthen
From sun scarcely rising
Out of waxing slumber
Roan shivers at the touch of words
Spoken by the wind
Where Sycamore give way to hues
Of week old broccoli
Up on the hill
Maple flushes red in anger
At the change
Raging gloriously
While discarded vestiges
Of bygone glories
Congregate in inviting mountains
There to be scattered
Like bones by phophets
That we might read the future
In their fragile forms.
Learning to love the silence
