Spring has arrived!
the view from glade to glade
through woods, is no more.

a lone pine stands --
mangled and misshapen --
above other trees.
streets are glistening,
and trees are dripping on the
riverside shrine's roof.
Spanish Moss drapes
from the bare branches over
the cool blue river.
naked branches
of the frangipani
bud with blossoms.
lakeside leaves are
turning and dropping, but
no floaters remain.
bougainvillea &
gold trumpet grow together:
one tree, two personas.
in a city park,
muscular baobabs &
wiry strangler figs
provide residences
for the fierce squirrels.
