From the deep wood

From the deep wood

far away sounds

isolated bird song 
cries out

no answer

trees strain toward the troubled sky
sometimes cracking
splintered light
lost amongst the shadows

lost but nearer winter than the autumn 
stark dark browns and peaty blacks
the tangle of the briars
withered fruit

pungent peppery
mulch scent
fallen scattered leaves
like roses in the waves

soft
damp
dusty
decay
