Thinnest scimitar of moon
severing indigo feathers
on a peach silk cushion
over pre-dawn railyards.
......
Low sun rots frost fabric
night sprayed on hedge tops
to crystal colonize -
white-bloom a stone
as soon as deathly-grip a grass blade,
trace fruit-tree tangles.
Small birds
parsimoniously
skreek need.
Inky-distinct
blackbird hops
to fridged windfalls.
...........
Boughs irradiated -
black rods wet with melt
lines of fire triumphing skywards,
glints dripping mulchward.
Drops from shed roof
belled with sun
ring as they fall.
