exquisite detail

 

intricate the tracery

of scat made off to ant lair

 

leaf fallen apart

someone smaller than seeing has

 

all in

real time

rising from the nest

to bright

 

leaf tumble at a stillness

that, too, borne away

 

there’s my world

 

tree by tree

scratch by bark

 

I live in a midst

 

I say valley

I hear road

 

the thing is settled now

 

walk into the grey of rain

 

all the old names are lost
