Connections: August 9.17

It startles

its unbowed starkness

daring us to look.

The squiggle tree

grows willy-nilly

carelessly

capricious, silly.

It grew, you see,

while being giggly

so now must be

all-over wiggly.

Noble king

in green assiduous

merry sprite

in lavender deciduous

roots entwined

in plots contiguous

each making the other

happily conspicuous.

Thanks yet again to the S.W. Berg Photo Archives.

The park’s unleafed

and starkly thrawn;

the more it takes off

the more I put on.

My eye climbs

giddy to name

all the colors

in one flame.

As in all the years gone by

you have to move your eye —

it’s time to remember

that towards November

 the garden moves nearer the sky.

Here

in the sudden shade

stones that give the water tongue

gossip

quacked by ducks upstream

gurgled

to the trees

that bend

knowingly

to hear.
