Poem: Birches in Shadow

 

Birches in Shadow

 

silver-vert licorice

so fine it snares

a few twinkles of platinum,

cowl of branches,

bulbous with dusk,

mages, tatterdemalions

scrolled in the bark,

redolent and obvious

of insubstantial absinthe,

seductors bound

to haunt ivory cinders,

neither burnt nor regal,

draping love’s bones.
