Shore Pines and Spider Silk
I open the front door
And little gold beetles fly to the porch light
Pale yellow buds fold into sleep
An egret alights on a cement fence
He stalks moths among winter blossoms
An almost-full moon illuminates the forest
Conifers hold their wind-blown shapes
And the smooth gray frameworks of gnarled shore pines
Twist skyward
Ice crystals encrust blades of marsh grasses
Sending up tiny frozen spikes of multi-colored moss
I warm unfurling tendrils with whispers and songs and rhymes
I brush past fern fiddleheads
And the icy white skeletons of bishop's lace
Tiny spiders weave webs from starlight
And little gold beetles fly to the porch light
Pale yellow buds fold into sleep
An egret alights on a cement fence
He stalks moths among winter blossoms
An almost-full moon illuminates the forest
Conifers hold their wind-blown shapes
And the smooth gray frameworks of gnarled shore pines
Twist skyward
Ice crystals encrust blades of marsh grasses
Sending up tiny frozen spikes of multi-colored moss
I warm unfurling tendrils with whispers and songs and rhymes
I brush past fern fiddleheads
And the icy white skeletons of bishop's lace
Tiny spiders weave webs from starlight
