New oak leaves beginning their stretch
in the first light of true day
with blushing tips
clusters like ferns
they assert themselves as crowns of the garden
kingly oak
less common in the corridor of cottonwoods
marking the riparian borders
imagine its long arms shielding the rhododendron
mimosa grateful for dappled sunlight
hung with bird houses for traveling finches
light drenched canopy
coming into mightiness
