September 30.20: Coping

The oak in autumn,

revisionist tree:

not all gall

is divided in three.

 

 

With apologies to J. Caesar

and thanks to photographer S.W. Berg.

 

August 22.20: Coping

It never ceases

to amaze,

this gold of

Apollonian rays.

Salad days

are with us yet

in 24-karat

dawn vignette.

 

With thanks to Shakespeare

and to photographer Emily Berg Baine.
