Sluices down deeply etched bark
Of the tall red cedar.

Ceiling turns yellow-orange
Then drifts to the earth.

Its limbs against an autumn
Orange morning sky.

By crashing waves, bleached
By the sun. Can cut.

A steep wide bank grazes cat tails
Rising in the sun.

As cold October morning
Fog rises in the air.

Cloudless Morn

Clear, bright cloudless morn
Sun warming a frosted lawn
Geese flying south.

A Woods

A woods in autumn
Washed in amber silence
Except for the wind.

And red oak scurry down
The street to the curb.

Stones

Stones in a creek bed
Washed and polished, shimmer
In rushing waters.
