My window at night, vi

Dark light dark light
dark light dark light
aspen leaves flip and turn
back and forth and around,
soft sequins mirroring
the six-sided moon,
imperceptible, but just
enough to slow time,
open hazy wonder —
dark light dark light
dark light dark light
dark light —

  1. Wonderfully, totally exquisite! What a magnificent picture of the frenetic motion of the aspen leaves! We have loved Red River, NM for many years and delight in the changing of the leaves on the aspens. Glorious!
