A lone wolf howls through blue nights-聽
Filled with woodsmoke鈥檚 sultry scent
she flows midst quaking leaves
As though her phantom breath.
might clothe the trees听听听
and soften brittle bones...
Snow geese call to fire-bright stars
and bid adieu to the northern moon-
颅They sluice across her golden glow
floating thankful feathers
to Mother Earth below颅
Some downy comfort
for her autumn breast.
A swift breeze blows-颅
Silver wisps of summer鈥檚 fertility fly
Across still waters they ran
like tiny fairies tripping ripples
To tease the trout and remind the toads-
颅winter is near...
Little beaver knows
the busy breath urging his heart-
颅he is happy-content to place
a last few sticks on his
snow time lodge-it鈥檚 grown
from twigs of willow
to a towering dome
his love-mate鈥檚 home.颅
Tricky raven clicks and crows
He caws to tease the squirrels and those
with whom he roosts颅
white spruce cones clatter鈥� gainst
his head, and churlish squirrels leap
to their beds-he swoops
alight on tundra鈥檚 turf
to pluck sour fruits
in blackened beak...
And as the first flakes flow
Three red drops fall-颅
In Time, with Earth鈥檚 own
passing year.
