This week, the phenology of my site has shifted further into the reaches of winter. Leaves have fallen completely from their deciduous trees, and the weather has become crisp and harsher. Additionally, wildlife noises have come to silence, as birds have parted on their migration towards warmer temperatures in the south.
The birds have abandoned their homes
In search of more forgiving climate
But the trees must remain
Offering the hard work of summer and spring
Littered in many colors
Upon the hard ground
Pressed down by the boots of
Students of Nature
and Ignorant people
who have gone too far from home
alike.
