haiku 84

big metal birdie

take me north, and a bit west

find me evergreens

daybreak, the Northwest/

dark blue above evergreens/

finally: sunshine!

where the earth meets sky/

evergreens puncturing clouds/

releasing sunshine

sun on evergreens/

blue sky through white morning clouds/

black pencil, grey lead

fog stuck in the trees/

trees stuck in dense morning fog/

Northwest spring in flux

where sky meets the trees/
evergreens puncturing clouds/
clouds eating the land

back to the cloudlands/

where trees outnumber people/

the Evergreen State

thriving rosemary/

blue sky through evergreen trees/

strange February

fog through evergreens/

rainwater lacing the porch/

sweet, gentle winter

sunrise through the clouds/

outlined evergreens, no wind/

lawn littered with leaves
