Vine, bent by ice, /
image of a leaf still green, /
cold unbent by light.

Embrace
Embraced by ice,
oak leaf rides the frozen waves.
Light shimmers and waits.

One brown oak leaf — /
among autumn’s many gifts /
and cold promises.

In a moment
Dying autumn leaf, /
Whisper now how winter comes: /
With love or without?

Hear
The sound of no sound. /
The quiet voice of no voice. /
Hear one fall leaf fall.

Fading
A shield to the rain,
oak leaf upturned on the street,
fading on asphalt.

One brown leaf reflects
winter’s cycle as the tree
