summer birches – v4

The same stand of birches

growing between the north bound

and south bound Route 95

up here in northern Maine.

The same stand of birches

drawing my eye, my attention

early yesterday morning, sunshine,

on the way to Bangor, again.

The same stand of birches

now summer birches

the young maples growing

up in the glade, the opening.

The same stand of birches

between the groomed way;

the bright young green

the white of the trunk

basking in the sun as I drive by.
