The Twig
Fall strips the tall tree
but lets a lonely twig hold
little yellow leaves.
The Spreading Chestnut Tree
A rain of spikey
ocher burs — Jon dons helmet
and tough leather shoes?
Buffers
Our London plane trees
lining both sides of the street
knuckle winter winds.
Evening in San Francisco
Half a slice of moon—
near the bus stop, flowers turn
a burnt sienna
Waiting for the Taxidermist
Taxidermist rests —
hands crossed: the spotted bird
awaits, unruffled.
