THE GREAT CIRCLE
The children are piling the leaves again
ready for the next bare-limb leap
life into death and back
A WEEK IN THE REDWOODS
Trees taller than a cell phone tower
The iPhone says
you are not getting your messages
the Redwoods say – listen
SHELTER BELT
The job of the trees
is to stop the snow
If they wish
to turn green
in the summer
and play with birds
no one will object
