Lyrics
Apparitions
I see men who look like trees
I see trees that look like men
I wonder what trees see
Bounty
moments before sunrise
the sky turns lilac
sol breaks the horizon
fuzzy, like peaches
Changes
statements become secrets
silence is heavy
time stops
we wait
speak
Domain
branches gird themselves in crystal armor
spears of ice guard every limb
boughs wave pennants stiff with frost
each bud and knot crowned with frozen honor
snow drifts like smoke and settles as ash
the maple and oak contest their kingdoms
