in an unseen giant's hands:
the deft squirrels probing,
penetrating lush leafage,
spanning tangled trees' branches.

The flower was almost perfect.
The bloom only ever so slightly flawed.
Fewer or lesser leafage would have been nice,
in spite of this
she married this idiot anyway.

Strolling
upon Autumn’s
crackling, gilded, leafage
becomes a fragrant sensual
saunter

gently brushing nightbreak
moon sheds our outlines ‘round treetops
and here, warm breeze emboldens us
curves bare as peeled leafage
I yearn for hands fondling moist skin.

What plush leafage might grow within one's vein,
feeding thirsty tendrils to spread along humid clay?
I write musings rooted in boughs of light
upon which mossy thought patterns create life forms,
to harvest verses and die -- to be recycled.

Damp campfires burn mouse bones,
their sooty ghosts
flavor the tattered.
The trees that don't turn,
stay hung on a scaffold
drab and dreaming.
Grey ribbons hang
from pall-bearing branches.
Smoky hollows wallow,
leafage languor’s in the smolder,
colors run in the reek.
The earth hugs its litter,
pulls it under to chew on itself.

Beneath clay, roots widen their space
Nourishing hallowed tree
Which spreads into arms and fingers
Of leafage and bounty--
It listens as folks tell secrets
Its wisdom, a comfort
From nature’s delicate instinct
Shading man from harsh life.

In the fog, odyssey
A cheerful adventurer
Free to be
In dampish autumn weather
Hikes into the hills
Awesome and deep
Watching the leafage sweep
Whilst song birds spill
Into the alone to peep
The only other sound --the break
Of distant waves and warblers awake
The air is raw, with a cold whisper
Many miles to go before any sleep
When sweet dreams come cheap
To a crusading journeyer
Who has promises to keep

Bare feet touching gracious slopes tickles,
Carpet of green grass smitten, subdued;
Bosom caped with white and violet blooms,
Whisper hot breaths, and ecstasy stroked
A secret strength, pulsating – enraptured
Undulating earth teeming with leafage
Rugged hands mount tender luscious cleavage
Carved trunk rests; fell into a reverie -
Soon sprinkled with snow, no foliage;
Day and night, alone, what a misery!

When the orchard grows deeply lush
filling all rows with grapes
etched by dusk like a bold paintbrush,
I trace its outline’s silhouette
and rove along this patch
Where quarter moon draws a vignette
as leafage unfurl like coiled frills
showing off plump of red …
fruits ripe turned into wine on mills
nectar releasing piquant scent--
A harvest which imbues
Nature, her life- giving intent.
