Hectare's Herb, 2021, oil on canvas 60” x 72”

by Shari Abramson

​
​fading into frame this deer quiet dawn





just inside the woods jasmine holding space





bamboo if forced to choose solitude





a hawthorn breeze panning for goldfinches 





leaning over the ifs and whys of this birth i grow into a winter witch hazel 





my many little deaths in as many little words without end





clouds two shades darker than the sky right now on a bus just a person 





sob then finch the puddle





this long night’s ambition after the milk spills our closeness  

​



six spruces where astral rhymes are scent

​
​
​

moon

slipping                            
                           through   
        the                        
                      old      
       oak’s                   
              hold         
               of            
             dark
