darkmorning
800januarys
shred to aprillilacs
fray to blueoctoberskies
tunnel for darkbutterflyyears
in tangleshadows of fiddleheads
and graycloud waves of fern
the greens of heaven
burn azuretransparencies
to graysmoke on earth
redcloud fringe
peaks the scales
kindling a spurt of fire
three hawks clock
the blueenvelope
with hatchetcries of flame
bardo
witness a rabbit'sstillness
