POEM INDEX

OTOŇO
OTOŇO,OTONO
 
 The seasons change
but there is a timelessness in Nature...
a subtle cycle
that seems to defeat time and death.

The twin cottonwoods endlessly
blossom and shade,
blush golden and shed,
then punctuate the winter sky
with nude branches and lacy twigs,
littering the earth with leaves and seeds,
to begin the dance again.
