[nibbed]

Chiseled in Fish

Colors of sunrise
striate across an easy sky
like layers of blessing–
amethyst, garnet, tourmaline,
ribbons of grace that make
and take each day like leaves
baked a full summer on trees
to drop their sun-fried bodies
on the forest floor, layering tight
 from the top, compressing each
spent season closer to the origin.

beautiful poem.
thank you.
I can see it.
