welcomes spring
opening his book of fields
furrowing the pages
rows of stories
revisited
repeated traces of family history
new entries
sown
branching free
budding ears
picking the tunes
of spirited winds
under sailing caravans
caught up in the swirling arms
of chapters in an autumn way
rolling up the scrolls
of leaves of grass
spirited away from winter chills
settling in lofty bins
cribbed indexes
of a next generation
