nor’easter
under
dead leaves and bark
a frog sleeps

copper clouds
soaking up the spill
sunset
Jharna
Sanyal
timber wood
curling up in smoke
legends
of forests

what’s
all the racket?!
a featherless white crane lifts
things up
to the roof

feathers
everywhere . . .
in mid-autumn the white hen
has started to
molt

one bird’s egg
in another’s nest
false
spring

within my dream
another dream
dragonflies

rhyming trees with peace
snipping frosted tips
of rosemary and thyme

December solstice—
watching the snowscene settle
on
the mantelpiece
