copper-leafed hillocks’ catch fire,

Laden lumber under showy snow,
Pretty piles of icy i...

for long generations,
they have their own arboreal language,
a nocturnal patois
ground out by layers of ligneous skins.

Evening Fry

...A priest once told me that the lump
on my hand was a ganglion,
a fortress of fat besieged by health.

deafening that mighty crash!
Tragic this tale of the telling
