SUSAN BRIANTE ~








Yellow Finches Drop From A Plane Tree




Crosses of sunlight burn through the sugar maple

                each afternoon in little crucifixions.



Blue-black lake like an 8-mm film,

              its name means  "hig winds"

in a language not spoken by local Indians.



How does a tree move when it is angry?

I want to be angry like that.
