the tree branches sway in the wind
— back and forth
but not in sync
some move this way
and others that
with their leaves more affected
still
shivering as though
the earth itself
were shaking —
at the approach
of a giant
on another tree the seedpods hang
like pendants from a chandelier.
they too tremble as they dangle.
if they were diamond or glass,
they would send colors flying
but they are not
and yet they still are
lovely
