Iridescent blue, hints of teal,
Raging splendor and ash,
In braided tangles of light,
They rise,
In braided tangles of light.
Supple limbs, now grown warm,
Passionate, feasting in air,
In river-wild dances of joy,
They run,
In river-wild dances of joy.
Wasted wood and brittle bark,
Branches, veins laid low,
In twilight flirting with mist,
So still,
In twilight flirting with mist.
Heart now yielding, rings cut through,
Roots aflutter in air,
In old light slipping away,
At last,
In old light slipping away.
Tarnished blue and ruined teal,
Hooded, quick grown cold,
Free, now light upon air,
This eve,
Free, now light upon air.
Iridescent blue, hints of teal,
Raging splendor and ash,
In braided tangles of light,
They rise,
In braided tangles of light.
