Writing as a landscape,
a warning–
don’t mistake placidity
for peace.
It could be that
the stillness of the trees
is self-imposed,
the dormant volcano,
disciplined;
though tired
of being a backdrop,
too tired
to do much else
but stay,
glacial,
to wrinkle the horizon
with creases
the same non-hue
as a day-moon,
elusive,
barely showing up
in photos.
A special one. A one to come back to.

I mean, one I will come back to. Not you. You go off and write more poems, this one will be just fine now.
