Spring Song

Blue blue blue over everything
and what branches attach to it?

Branches that divide its brightness,
still unattached to names.

Arcing the glade a hummingbird plunges

precisely at its flower….

Planting Trees at Rowena Wilds

More deer trails than roads,
Where oaks crawl into clouds,
A baby ponderosa witnesses me
Digging its only home.
