Outcrops
Grasses sway from
left to right and semi-circle the
breeze demanding direction
beaver in the pond builds
a home with his young family
mate already perusing
foundations for the watery base
with rocky outcrop, steadying air
tree branches hold sunlight
perhaps a nuthatch will
appear out from the canopy
of orange hue to commence
and direct his symphony
under the auspices of spruce boughs
and reddish alder leaves dancing
