Frames of trees
Pulse with sap
Rising for spring
Bud
While leaves and grasses
Of autumn
Crushed under snow
Lay – revealed
In glimpse of low sun
As icy water rushes
In shadows
Deep
In steep winter mountain
Villages
Of stone against rock
Seen only as pattern
Concealed
By grey and brown
Reveals
Places for making
Poetics and aesthetics
Responding – recounting – reshaping
And pathways
For walkers
Pass blossom
For now
High-mountain holds cold
Fields waiting
For cattle
And culture
