The forest floor in Saratoga National Historic Park, NY is both coniferous and deciduous -- a mixed forest floor -- which is great for the wildlife of the region. A little discussion, some photos, and meditation on the meaning of mixed media, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Forest dusk
Lush composition,
armed with scaling tendrils
writhing underfoot
swirling like squirrels
amid the swift discussion
of the needles and the leaves --
it's possible a lark will light
here, or a doe will soundlessly
hasten its fawn to sleep.
In the dim and dusk,
the shadow rusky softness
of the earth-bound forest
the dispensation of the oaks and pines
gathers color, shores up light,
protects the denizens of the night.
