The trees stirred the sky today
Their black boney witch fingers stabbed
the corroded chrome blue clouds
as they passed on overheadGhosts of spring played hide and seek while
dancing oak leaves marked their passing
Branches grabbed at the haunted air
Handbell voices whispered and slithered
like an icy fog along the forest floor

I glanced at the sky as my feet shuffled
stones and acorns snapped like old bones
under my feet

Leaves hissed above my twisting hair
canting spirits of dead birds
flocking from tree to tree as the wind
ushered them along

The trees stirred the sky today
Then it began to rain
