Small streams
ditches and rills
twitter like
newly opened packs
of preserved birdsong

Several degrees
warm in January
Rainshowers wash
the woods glittery
Flashes and reflections signal

Washed warn out Sunday shirt
backlit
here trolls appear
as in books where
the pages are opened

to sceneries
fragilie as spider webs
dangerous to fasten in
Repaired with tape
wich has yellowed, stiffened

split and fallen out
Whole pages are missing
Straight white holes of desolation
in the woods
Pages without numbers
