pillars of light

in a private collection

sold through Edgewater Gallery

This view of Lake Champlain comes up suddenly when I’m driving south from Burlington, Vermont towards Charlotte. The brilliant lake and mountains beyond are mesmerizing — it can be hard to keep my eyes on the road!

Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars

of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment
