Anna Couani #186 needles aloft



just when we were bogged down
in our asphalt winter
the casuarinas spring up quietly
needles aloft
piercing the descending blue



apologies to Gerard Manley Hopkins

    thought i'd try a google translate idea like Ouyang Yu
    Just when we were stuck
    Winter Our asphalt
    Casuarina emerge silently
    Hands in hair
    Piercing blue Descending
