winter wind gust...
[a pause,] a few leaves flutter
slantwise to earth.

a yellow field
stands warm & bright, even
under rain clouds.

a crow alights
on a slender, bare branch,
riding the bounce.

canna lily blooms
catch the light of sunrise as
stems sleep in the shade.

fallen petals
swept by undulating waves
into a neat pile.

a tree reaches
toward the pond; the pond
reaches back again.
