Autumn V : Contortionist

The Japanese Maple  
a venerable genius of  
stature through design  
 
Desiring no height, nor  
straightened growth  
from its ruddy earth  
 
Lords not high over change  
nor lowly hibernates in season  
but weathers surroundings  
 
A committed life of contortionry  
teaching beauty in deformity  
~
