Awaiting the Cicadas

In the early summer of 2004 we sat in wait of the arrival of Brood X. The night the ground temperature reached 64 degrees, the 17-year cicadas would crawl out of their holes and climb up the trees awaiting the hardening of their exoskeletons. Like the seconds between the knock at the door and the revelation of the visitor without, we waited and pondered our impending doom from insects we did not understand. 

Boundary Lines

Nearly every tree in the city was placed there with human intent. None grew naturally as a result of the seed blowing in the wind. They form lines and grow in square boxes - all neatly within boundaries. What effect does this have on the human psyche?

Moonlit Intarsia

Sand-clock moon;
the night empties out,
the hour is lit.
~ Octavio Paz

Pear Tree

Of all our idolic symbols 

what is more worthy of worship than a flowering tree?

Summer Solstice

The longest day of the year. The earth burns.

Sylvan Allignment

Standing in line alongside the road, 

the trees obediently salute us as we pass.
