TRIPTYCH IN GREEN

TRIPTYCH IN GREEN

Nuts

Pecan trees of early May,

I don’t know about the nuts,

          but

  the new green leaves

      in noon light

         explode

on canvases too rich

for Sotheby’s to afford.

Inside Out

Inland window at dusk

  frames sylvan scene

    of new fire

      not red

  but pale green ,

    florescence,

  incandescence;

variations on a theme

        by 

 the parting sun.

Picket

     What is it

        about

a white picket fence

   edging fields

           of

green, gold, and rusty red? 

Lazy wind and wave

of geometric patterns

     in bone. 

Man and nature

   concelebrate

in rustic revelry.
