S.KRAUSE

V

Farfallen flowers,
Springbudding trees,
Earthreaching branches,
And evergreening leaves

Seasons like riverpebbles
Tumble through time,
Rounded, battered,
Refined

No two twins---
Infinite bastard children only
And fellow travellers
To the sandy oceans
Of eternity ...

Springtwigs fall,
Summerpetals float,
Winterflakes melt,
Scions of nature all
