Trees

For H: Always..

Naked trees

smile

in their sleep;

the birds

bring meat and drink

to their table.

Night-Bell

For H: Missing you..

Under a thickness of clouds, alone;

the night-bell rings out three -

who comes?

Lips

Grey-lit sun, miles of sky;

alone a small bird

touches lips with the wind.

Birdsong

As many raindrops as notes of birdsong;

my ears are tumbling with sky.

Angels

A vast wind, tiny

solace; there are angels

in the threads of my coat.

Blackbird

A soft coat of wind, tree-lined

sun; blackbird sings my heart

across the air.
