I see them writhe and feel a shift
in its symbols and signs.

The Vine [Free Verse]
Grape leaves flutter
and some catch the light
to glow with translucence.
I'm in an ancient place,
and this is such an ancient
endeavor.
Wine has been the king
of pursuits in these parts
for millennia.

on quivering leaves?

The sun is low -- ready to set --
My mind is slow & ready to drink.
