two big eyes:
face in a tree trunk
unsettles me.

two big eyes:
face in a tree trunk
unsettles me.

Beautyberries,
dense clusters of fuchsia,
lure hungry birds.

autumn long shadows
of a tuft of tall grass
etch rocky ground.

Autumn afternoon,
light warms a copse of pines;
beyond: crisp blue sky.

a tree grows, askew;
canopy stretched one way -
wind can’t shake it.
