Summer haze in the forest:
- sunlight traveling down, through, between branches, fingers of leaves,
glancing off levitated particles, airborne dust, circling gnats,
glowing in the space up there, golden halo around needles & cones.
Nearby shade is clear as water, deeptoned, rich, dark as dusk,
trunks soaking moisture, still absorbing more from aromatic soil, fungusfull, lifefull.
Brightness of sky transmitted to earth:
circles of sunlight patterning the litter,
overlapping lenses blazing the needles, shadows' edges crisp alongside,
cutting shapes that drift and morph with the wind's gentle gestures.
