Winter Wood

Winter Wood

 

Skeletons of trees stand

ghostly and translucent

next to deep green pine

they fade

 

Sometimes I wonder about trees

Do they know they’re home?

Do they know of time?

 

Look down

there are whitewater rapids below my feet

and my legs become roots in this water

 

It’s then, alone in the mountains

I find I’m home

 

Photo: I got this picture by eyeing this building off the side of the road while driving through the Vermont winter woods. Per usual on road trips, I made my mom pull over just so I could get this shot.
