A blanketed mare

A blanketed mare
Solitary in the snow
Breathing little clouds

chalky sycamores

chalky sycamores
earthen aborigines
locked in primal dance

tall, whitewashed farmhouse

tall, whitewashed farmhouse
surrounded by frosted fields
a rural palace

the clouds broke tonight

the clouds broke tonight
moonlight seeping through the cracks
mending the fault lines

naked, the trees reach

naked, the trees reach:
bony branches search the sky,
stripped of their color

blue october storm

blue october storm,
the leaves bleed yellows and reds:
water-colored fall

birds swimming as one

birds swimming as one
a dancing, dotted sculpture
shaped by rushing wind
