Stone wings of land
roll into a belly of sky
beyond eyeshot. They are pinned
by trees today, orange as old fire.

The wind coils Lydia's hair,
a little fleck of yellow paint
just a smudge, a thumbnail
such as you might spot

in curling photographs,
or faintly in a muddy mind's eye.
It's tragic enough,
nailing moments like butterflies.

I sit on the hillside
and furiously blacken pages,
as if trees don't wither, hair won't fade,
nothing ages.

If I haven't done so previously ... let me welcome you to PiP~

'Stone wings of land
roll into a belly of sky'


Such an imagery-laden lead in ...
that caught my eye~
I like the all of it~

Beautifully woven piece that makes me feel it as I read it.

That is a poem!
