Beyond the Sun

This heart a dark cave
Moist with stains of small moss life
beyond the sun’s touch

Unripened

This year green cherries

hang stunted in my fruit tree

Stillborn seeds, dead leaves

Totem

the ages have worn

grooves upon your painted face

solemn as old wood

Seattle sun break
loudly punctuates the day
shifts, drifts back to grey

California Redwoods

Roots cool in shadow
stump still dwarfs, but once you soared
high as ocean mist

Cracked on the roadside
We stop to snap the icon
Baked white on the tar
