***
as the dark dirt holds
a broken bended hand
ants trail on light sand
***
water vibrations
eloquent to transparent
will shake the tiny twig
***
One gray tree arches
over oscillating leaves
secured to their stem.
***
Breaking cement lies
underneath the scorned weight
of an empty twig
***
A brisk, blue moonlight
blankets the bright daytime leaves
when night just wakes up
