the things i saw
on the way
to you –
the moon facing
off the rising
sun in a
gunslinging
moment, lightning
draws; a flock of
eighth notes sitting
on the D- and F-
lines, the plumpest
glissandi;
a geometry
of light
deciphering a
georgia pine,
a double
fugue revealing
its counterpoint
.

Hey, is that the Cardinal who was having a sunflower seed breakfast at my house this morning? Sure looks like it.
Seriously–great color contrast! Adore the bright red amidst all the branches.
hm, not quite sure – might account for the plumpness (smile). thank you, and happy 2013, my dear!! xo, y
