I stopped today on
a trail deep under winter
to speak with aspen buds
already present, even at
the darkest night, like
actors backstage,
impatient for their cue.
These pointed tree pebbles
lean into bitter wind
all winter, harboring the
shade where I will
sit next summer while
feasting from a perfect
garden of poems until
I can hold no more.
