trunk tethered galaxies of leaves

wild weaves, wind owned.

Waist high, light grained

grasses spray. Green-good air

an open mouth, bird-fled, waits

 

grey pearl egg, shell rain swollen

cloud, dragon hatching. Rainclaws

slash, soon paths bleed streams

sky cold - the woods' unseen business

made clear

Really enjoyed.
