a lone pine stands --
mangled and misshapen --
above other trees.

home to birds & squirrels,
the tree holds life in every
crotch & hollow.

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

a barren tree
paints dancing shadows
on the sandy canyon.

a barren tree
clings to a cliff face;
winds have nothing to shake.

white silk-cotton tree,
sinuously sprawling —-
chaining earth to sky.
