" From Another Time "...

" From Another Time "

From another time
possibilities re-combining
whether fresh or dried

not unusual to find
silk-threaded ties
leaf style

heaped into piles
above water lines
as guide wires

coming to mind
via shape and design
ash-fired-cast-iron

attracting butterflies
like brush-footed allies
with spotted undersides

while striped larvae
feed on violets
skeletonized

simultaneously
wonderous
and frightening

galvanizing spans of life
swelling and rising
shorelines at flood tide...
