Evergreens

This entry is part 42 of 91 in the series Toward Noon: 3verses

 

Melting snow reveals
the catacombs of rodents.
It’s been a long winter.

Starving deer strip
rhododendrons of their tough,
cold-curled tongues.

Hundred-year-old hemlocks
lose their needles to an insect
thinner than a thread.
