H-K236
Relieved, I let the book fall behind a stone.
I climb a slight rise of grass.
I do not want to disturb the ants
Who are walking single file up the fence post,
Carrying small white petals,
Casting shadows so frail that I can see through them.
I close my eyes for a moment and listen.
The old grasshoppers
Are tired, they leap heavily now,
Their thighs are burdened.
I want to hear them, they have clear sounds to make.
Then lovely, far off, a dark cricket begins
In the maple trees.
(James Wright)

Your images are always so profoundly moving Judith – and inevitably paired with just exactly the right verse to highlight the mood. This is absolutely gorgeous – and no one works with light the way you do, my friend. Perfect in every way.
Ric Alexander
Like the tones you picked in this. A sense of drama to it.

i closed my eyes after reading each line to see and hear in my minds eye the unfolding story of a day in the life of the tiny beasts of the forest – it made my day.
