Tapestry yarn and embroidery floss
come in 500 shades —
200 of them are greens.
This is the time of year when you know why.
They’re lighter yellower now,
settling in summer to darker bluer tones.
Except for a few with a different plan
Downhill towards the weeping cherry
not growing up like most trees
but ever wider
making a tree house on the ground.
