Today the wood
is browns
with greenish shades
of grey
Today the trees
are leafless
rhythmic sheddings
soft decay
Today the path
is puddled
walking muddy
welly way
Today the pond
is turbid
flatly spattered
puddled clay
Today the birds
are hidden
by the falling
winter rain
Today the spring
is distan
deep pre-vibran
underlain
