a moment, a season
a story in the leaf’s color
not chartreuse, not new
something deeper, richer
of that moment in time
a story, a truth revealed
in the tautness of the skin
in the veins, the arteries
in the many capillaries
protected from insects
from other maladies
rich, alive, deep-green
captured in the image
a moment, a season
saturated, dripping summer
something deeper, verdant
in that moment of time
