let effacement be (sandhill cranes)






Let effacement be my way of shining,
let poverty overload our table with fruit,
let death, nearby or vague according to its desire,
be the nourishment of inexhaustible light.

--Philippe Jaccottet

at last,
spring petals---

the cold plum
tree risks

one
careful step,

then 
leaps!

dwelling


again, 
these robins!

--- gathering straw
from that nest

I pulled down
last year
