Degrees of Yaw

Solidago altissima. Please click to enlarge.







































What if I made you hear this as music

But not how you mean that. The sound

Of your motor fading through trees

Opened me up. I want to have taken

Better care. I thought that maybe

If you're not too busy, we could spend

Our lives parting at sunrise. Wait,

I wasn't finished. I was going to say

Stems drop leaves and lean in late sun.
