Briefly
Colorful autumn leaves in California’s Inyo National Forest will soon be dashed to the ground by snow.
clear blue autumn sky—
great joy, albeit briefly,
before the first snow

Blue Monday: Distant Mountain
Colorful aspen trees brighten a hillside in California’s Inyo National Forest.
From a distant mountain, surrounded by blue sky,
I hear a raven calling, and I wonder why.
Perhaps he has a message that I need to hear,
Or maybe it’s just nonsense—who will make it clear?

Authenticity:
the aspens do not pretend
to be oaks or pines.

Blue Monday: Mountain View
Aspen trees light up a mountainside in Inyo National Forest, California.
Beyond the mountains a patch of blue
Calls to a crow, and calls to you too.
Who’ll answer the call: you or the crow?
Only the glowing aspen trees know.

Inyo National Forest near Bishop, California
Do you know the word
to bring back autumn’s glory,
blackbird in the pine?

A stream in the mountains of Inyo National Forest near Bishop, California
Near a mountain stream
the shadows on some boulders
become black as crows.
