gingko yellow leaves
a pond
your landscape
is ruddy and warm
your heart’s…
(your feet have been cold)
I see
gingko yellow
a pond
some tattoos
the edges of you –
maple red
ever green green
(a silver edge it is)
gingko yellow
you
winter light
full moon tattoo
(graffiti tags)
cloudy sky blue
split swollen granite
rusty metal rail ties
whispering brush
orange burst berries
lightning-split tree trunks
elements of you
gentle edges
roughly-hued wood
graffiti spelling
“sage”
worn brick red
all this is true.
