Changeable Skies

Swirls of ragged trees
In wisp white softness of skies—
Curls of dark fingertips
Like gold glints of eyes.

Swirls in broiling smoke
And heat’s wild surmise.

Gnarls in sticks of grass
And brown leaves as winter dies.

Burls amid dark blue skies—
Swirls of alpha, omega
And all of life’s prize.
