Landscape of locust and larch [110]
Landscape of locust and larch

In a landscape of locust and larch,
we bake in hot shade, bask in hotter sun,
raise bare branches to lumbering snow clouds,
once winter comes, and never trust Spring
until warmth makes us bud.
Our strengths:
learned reticence,
profound patience,
our skeptic mistrust.
Yet planted here:
we locusts bloom in arms-open valleys,
we larch cling to steep jagged slopes,
we humans... neither... or both,
we mountain lovers,
we valley dwellers
full of hope.
