Autumn Leaves


Two tales of desire
          compose their calligraphy
on witness of stone.
 
 
 
 



Sunlight stirs, leaves shine,
     flower bows before the gleam
of sudden wingbeats.
 
 
 



An owl, completing
    its hieroglyph, takes care
not to tip the stone.
 
 
 



Did quarrymen
      drilling alongside the sea
put clouds in the sky?

  2. Oh Martin,
    Just spectacular.... the meditating visage of the owl, the philosophy of the Quarry Scrolls, the ascension of water vapor energetic and brave enough to escape gravity. Thanks and a pleasure to meet you.
