TREES

GAPS

trees no more than stalks
forking black against a snow that
melts before it hits the ground
one of images beyond number
trapped in the largest of those
hollow bottle-shaped dolls

they open one within another

infinities of diminished space
where the stars and planets reel

the Paradise of Miseries is therefore
not unique but merely an interlude
another gap between two voids
where youth is wasted on the young
life is wasted on the living
and the last of the gods lies
drowned in a dark room

I like your trees. Trees also have to have a rest, to begin again.

A tree-in-autumn / winter. I'll send this today to a country where the trees keep their leaves all-over the year (I think), to the Works on Paper project:

And to my surprise I got the address of a Postcrosser who in her profile only wrote she loves trees (and flowers, and green) and selfmade cards.
So a new opportunity to create an other tree!
Looking from the window I only see leave-less trees. Just now I realize that also she lives in a place where trees don't lose their leaves (Arizona). So this one isn't a dead tree either, but just a tree in a deep, deep winter sleep. 

 

Finally this Trees group inspired me to finish a  piece of mail art I was trying to make already for a long time. Below a detail (text says: 'Window, overlooking a tree'). 
I hope the receiver will appreciate the complete picture (but I'm not sure..).

"Mr. Hilton, a pioneer, told his wife that he was going to Little River for wood. She asked to go with him. ... She hadn't seen a tree for two years, and when they arrived at Little River she put her arms around a tree and hugged it until she was hysterical."

-- from a letter in Joanna Stratton's 1981 book Pioneer Women: Voices from the Kansas Frontier (19th century U.S.)

After the cyclone; rain, wind, flooding; it was lovely to walk in the vine forest and enjoy the sunshine.
