Note 25: New Year’s Day 2009

Along Broaddus Creek
Leafless valley oaks
Stand silently
Until spring.

Above cloud cover
Gray colored
A sun shines clear,
Unobstructed.

A yellow, rusting
Steam-era flatcar
Feels no slight
At being side tracked.

A kangling’s clear tone
Cuts through the clutter
Shadow, and rust
Of attachment
