evergreen

Oh, but it is so blue

above it all, this sky blue sky

up past these branches,

strategies to gather the sun

even though they show

these shrinking graying days 

in the push and pierce

needle and bough this ancient 

mechanism to translate 

the sun into the reaching will of

the earth, stooped and staggered 

before the heavens know

where to begin and end

fingers splayed, the sun beaming through.
