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
