The lake watches on
as we glare at its cold depths—
humans, passing clouds.
Silent observer
Tag: life
Seasonal wear
Bark as bold as brass,
the bald and the beautiful—
winter-cloaked gum tree.
Wishful

if the silver we pine for,

Covers can mislead:
rugged blemishes on trees—
life indicators.
Fall
Dangling on tree limbs
twirling, swinging, tormenting—
leaf, watching husky.
