March Dusk

A few trees
in the back yard  
suffice to split the sky

into manageable portions
especially at dusk when
the limbs and twigs and frizzy

new growth of the river birch
appear inked on the sky
like a dark nervous system

linking the Four Directions:
Black Tortoise, Blue Dragon,
Red Bird, White Tiger
