steaming pond and other things

 tooley pond
 as the weather turned
an uneasy dance surfaced
between sky and depth
cold was fighting the warming waters
over the weekend 
 hortus siccus

 pages of this northern garden
 rinsing away plant matter
paper and cloth
 a pattern
a pleat
 some cloths
some text
some thoughts

  3. love the pleat - it's those accidental oddities that make things interesting. In life as well as textiles.
