				| Leaves and buds 111207  130102 
 Shivering
 and flapping wildly
 in the piercing wind
 the brown leaves
 ragged and torn
 hold fast
 onto the half-stripped branches
 to nurture
 with the very last breath
 the birth of the tiny buds --
 so delicate
 yet composed
 whose fragrance
 consoles
 even the worst frostbitten souls
