The winter afternoon bright
and sunny
the green against the gray
the eastern hemlock luminous
on the asphalt shining
drawing me to bend
and lift its branch to my
eye
Not knowing what to do next
transferring the sprig to
the snow pile
the green warming,
a cocoon forming,
soon to be encased
in its own cave of ice
