amidst the felled trees timothy r gates, 10/15/2009
Death, resurrection
Not new
Amidst the claims
For reclamations, restorations of
Environmental floods
Trees fall to their
Repose
Giving life,
Decompositions gift
Anesti! Resurrected! A-gain
Genesis, re-genesis proto-synthesis
Leaves falling
Kissing Crosses, Stars, Moons,
Mantra of seeds burrowing,
seeds yielding seeds,
Death, resurrection
Trees fall
Trees felled
thud!
One asleep awakens
Tree fallen, in the spring,
Sapling ascent.

Wordless
Special

Lines
Refrained
Byline
Byword
Refrain
Idiosyncratic
Idiom
Metaphor, simile replaced sometimes with
Euphemism
Surreal is real
Real is not necessarily true
Truth is in silence,
Still, quiet, rippling streams, oceanic eruption
Logos
Writing
Iconic painting, window into
More, less
Poetry, between friends
Knowing
Vertical and horizontal lines
On a page,
Only attempts at the
Word.
