Postcard

Map to an underground metro system.

Panel of crackled glass.

Detailed city plan.

Veined network in an insect wing.

Underside of dried leaf, pressed in the pages of my book.

Postcard from spring, one day soon returning.

PS - here is yesterday's poem from The Morning Porch, now up on Via Negativa: "Vertices"was also triggered when I heard from my eldest daughter of the record lows in temperature (such as have never been seen before) in the northern Cordillera highlands.

She shared this photo link of Baguio photographer Ompong Tan, of produce fields in Atok, Benguet, all sheeted in frost.
