bent weathervane
masked smiles under
deeply sad eyes
a silvered cloud passes
the twig in the crow's beak
entwined in laurel
the remembered scent
marriage vows
open window
the sound of church bells
as blossoms fall
a single tear wets
the shriveled white lily
dew drops
on young leaves
unfurling light
