The Shape of Things

Winter reveals structure. —Madeleine L’Engle


Stripped in autumn,

willows’ arc the profile

of their weeping

Gravity at play


X-rays expose

underlying armature

how we’ve been shattered

or not


Each reflects life’s battering

yet cannot reveal

the ways 

we keep finding joy
