One
One brown leaf reflects
winter’s cycle as the tree
holds its emptiness.

Down and up
Dead leaves drift down. /
Young cat scrambles up the tree. /
Rain and clouds depart.

Closed
The lock and chain /
say this gate is not for you. /
This garden is closed.

Sunflower tree
Tall sunflower tree /
blooms where a tree used to be, /
holds your memory.

One
One raindrop hangs /
from one green cherry hanging /
on one young tree’s growth.

Life
Mushrooms grow on death, /
turning a lifeless tree trunk /
Into life support.

Posed
Posed for the decline /
of man, the cat climbs the tree /
after starlings and stars.

One of these days
Oh tree, my tree,
Please hide me.
I want to stay
Away today.
I don’t want work
Nor stupid jerks
To come my way.
I want to be
By my little tree
And fill my my days
With poetry.
Oh tree, little tree
Stand by me.
Please, please
Hide me.
