Poems
May 2014
Populus tremuloides
She met you in the Arctic, we both twirled and marveled
Now that she is me and I was her, we can tell you something true
Weβll never tire of your sweet light, poured limb from limb
Or the way branches shift, too timid to know
A life of severe promises, even in the bleak gray
She can still smile at you, but I know better
I know you have things to tell and burdens to share
She doesnβt think you possibly could, as you stand so tall
On still moons you **** your head and
wonder about the clusters, about the stars
And under a spell she cast years ago
I walk by with moon filled eyes
Disguised as a star: trying to be your light
