RED WINTER
from the Portfolio “Rhythms . . . Water to Fall”
Archival pigment print
by Adel GorgySpring is green,
Summer is gold,
Autumn is orange—
but, though, to some,
it’s black & white,
here Winter is red.
The last crimson leaves
are gathered
in the storm winds . . .
covering the earth,
the last grasses,
the twigs . . .
fallen from the now
bare branches.
Is it the last gasp
of fruitfulness,
this multiplying
to catch
the nourishment
of sun?
