(Editor’s Note: This poem and photograph were first publish in November of last year. Given what I see outside my window, it is still appropriate to repost. Enjoy)
Winter Trees
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
—William Carlos William
