maze of brown
at the center, trees
empty of leaves,
row after row stretching
to scattered hazel
edging the lake,
its soft fog settled,
tissue-papers,
still, grey, jade mist,
dull pearl, kingdom come
maze of brown
at the center, trees
empty of leaves,
row after row stretching
to scattered hazel
edging the lake,
its soft fog settled,
tissue-papers,
still, grey, jade mist,
dull pearl, kingdom come

I love that image of tissue-papers, the softer colors, softening mood of the second stanza in contrast with the hard, leafless trees and brown of the first.

Yes. In a curl-up place myself, at the moment. But well. 🙂
