John Brehm

DECOMPOSITION

Framed in the upended triangle
of the dead pine’s
now un-

grasping
roots a cluster of
larkspur perfectly composed.

__________

SMALL TALK

Death and beauty and
the of of each
gives us

all we
need to say
then takes it all away.

–from Rattle #36, Winter 2011
Tribute to Buddhist Poets
