Leaf Dagger
[Photos in this post taken using the film recipe Ektachrome]
Sunlight falls through the branches of the redwood trees
Lands like a dagger on the leaf’s heart
Gold blazes on a bed of dead leaves
Cold Creek Crossing
Redwood trees shade the crossing, cold water sparkles,
No pause in the flow.
They rush over the creek, hikers – young and old,
No pause in the flow.
Sun reaches for the stream blocked by red trunks and green needles.
No pause in the flow.
