DOUBLES


there are two rocks in my woods
side by side made more visible
as each hard rain succeeding
hard rain succeeds in washing
away the ground around them

likely they were one rock once

there are two young trees fallen
which cross each other there
in the woods too but in another place
nothing is hung on them
but their fate of seasons
showing their age as they rot

nothing is hung on them
but their age and the thought
that comes from their slender look
of the large old trees they might have been
their age and the thought
which comes from it join

the two really one over time
