stark and weighed by days
old oak’s arms reach to the sky
still time passes

On a nasal delight

chopped an old oak log
splitting wood released its years
scent of centuries

bitter wind from east
beech and oak bend and rattle
rose buds stay snuggled

A rush of dark wings
First flock of winter starlings
sweeps into the oak

Across the meadow

Mist makes shadows of oak trees,

Lost dreams, out of reach

Through this length of oak
whorls, twists, turns of passing time
mark long years, short lives.
Clean flame, with pale blue-grey smoke
all drifting gently skyward.
