Elfin forest, 
Hiding in Peru,
Waiting for fog drip

Gnarled trunks,
Lichens, ferns, orchids,
Mossy forest's trolls

Intense tree canopy
Keeping shy mountain gorilla's secrets
Holding raindrops hostage

Perpetual fog,
Adding a mystique

AT  MINUS  ONE


Pin drop quiet
Feather white ground
Yesterday’s prints half-filled
We wend home
Arm in arm
Pointing out stars
Always there 
But seeming crisper
Just below zero


Then the corner

with diverse needles,
in the Summer-soaked sun.
A chipmunk nestled in its soft branch

A Tree Falls

A tree falls.
No one calls 911,
offers aid
or comfort.

Homeless birds
hold placards

Crickets  camp
beneath it.

Stony shadows
keep time
in passing
sunshine.
