(word, woven
reaching fronds
curved
a tree round
watching
wind-dancing)
Woven-wound and wind-dancing,
a curved tree watches its fronds,
to reach airy conclusions.
A bird, holed up, corroborates
its wit: cotton-leafed wings
whistle the midsummer postprandial breeze.
July, still before a thunder-burst.
