Kit Kelen #82 - diptych for the trees

82

diptych for the trees

unto our gentle senses

call this wood Birnam

at least for today

it comes to me

from a practised absence

and castle hath a pleasant seat

though I can't see it anymore

I thank the trees for that

and in among

I love the patches

of nothing to cut

where the trees have kept a proper distance

where the grass has given up

where the leaves lie thick as ghosts
