“Synoptic: In Red and Blue” by GTimothy Gordon

The Tale

  

At Ali’Shan we witness what’s left

of skeletal rare red cypress 

Nippon clear-cut an aeon ago.

 

                       **

 

Sequoia redwoods call to mind.

Girth and steady stillness.

And yet, shaking in the trees.

 

Blue falling everywhere.
