Branches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692649688)

Like our own capillaries,
tiny branches reach into the vacant space around them.
Light - air - water - even snow
sustain them.
Their movements unobserved,
they inch, surreptitious, into the air,

curve toward the window,
stare in at us
as if to say,
"How sadly self-contained you are."
