The Green against the Gray – v4


Winter afternoon bright & sunny
green against gray
eastern hemlock luminous
on asphalt shining
drawing me to bend
to lift its branch to my eye

Not knowing what to do next
transferring sprig to snow pile
green warming,
cocoon forming,
soon to be encased
in its own cave of ice
