Analysis of Fall's Release



Out there alone,
my thoughts zero-sum…
the coyote’s lonely howl

I search for redemption
through cactus and sage…
the silence of an owl

Winter births Summer,
its dream comes alive…
the bear announcing Spring

In thermal forgiveness,
a following storm
—the hawk now on the wing

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
