Curl of an ache: six haiku

Dave Bonta, , ,

trail
turning dappled salamander
tail

curl
of an ache an oak
burl

one watery
eye between them
conjoined oaks

the shine of white-
haired youth
tussock moth

winding
up here
wild grapevine

ravished
by the wind
mother oak

I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. My books of poetry include FAILED STATE: HAIBUN, ICE MOUNTAIN: AN ELEGY, BREAKDOWN: BANJO POEMS, and ODES TO TOOLS.
