Lighting the leaves

Posted: June 7th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Poetry | 1 Comment »

After three days the same,
Sun creeps through the forest,
Lighting the leaves,
Taller each noon.

Sun creeps through the forest
On fireproof stilts;
Taller each noon,
More jaunty in his step.

On fireproof stilts
He takes to the branches–
More jaunty in his step,
He’s gliding.

He takes to the branches–
Then, one day,
He’s gliding
Above the bright buds.

Then, one day,
Slowly bringing you,
Above the bright buds,
All the gold in the world.

Slowly bringing you,
After three days the same,
All the gold in the world
Lighting the leaves.


Bedtime

An older comic about not wanting to go to bed. My dad didn’t really have giant glasses like that.


Laurels

You can grow tired of looking at the laurels;
June woods are lousy with these pink-white constellations.
Grandmother’s tires drift down the backroads
Like a team of studied horses
The track’s in their rubbery bones.
Passing periwinkled foundations,
Resolute in the years-deep leaves,
Rusted fences fastened to trunks,
The sun on the dark fallen firs.

Out into a slanting pasture–
Again, across there, she gestures at laurels.

But wise grandmothers point ’cause they know
The thinking of the shining leaf,
the gnarled branches that lift from bitter stony soil;
They can be burnt to the ground thrice-over.
Consider these returning flowers.

I believe we are looking at a lock in the foreground, and the distant bridge in the preceeding picture is also the top of a dam.
