National Poetry Month – Day 8
–
Wind-slanted
Brisk morning perceptions are
Easter Saturday revelations.
I contemplate the stark Norway Maple tree
Compare the textures of limbs and trunk
Contrast shapes of blue sky-holes
between scribbled branches
Discover the majesty of a long life.
On Easter Saturday morning
Slick frost overlays grassy carpets
along clean-swept concrete sidewalk.
I walk around rock-lined circular beds
of thick spruce green pachysandra
I remember the child who
climbed into a massive old apple tree
searching for God among the
slippery rain-slick branches.
It feels like this one – wind-slanted
towards the brighter south-east
deeply anchored in dark soil.
A broken green umbrella
unfurling on Easter Saturday morning.
