Follow the sign of the leaf. Climb. Go.
All veins lead to the bright midrib,
between the twin nipples,
and over the great divide of the palm.
I live in an Appalachian hollow in the Juniata watershed of central Pennsylvania, and spend a great deal of time walking in the woods. Here’s a bio.

I love the genre that you’re evolving here. It’s like a children’s book, each page a big picture and a sentence, but with extra resonance for adults. Please do more of these; I want to see where they go.
Don’t tempt me! This is lazy blogging. But I’m glad you got something out of it. Thanks for commenting.
