in the green secret

  
in the green secret of the
maple tree                   in the
palms of the thousand leaf hands
is the earnest thread-making
divined through cellulose spools
of the capillary loom
sap and fiber spun
and wrapped around seed
pairs
            and from each seed arches out
an eyebrow spine from which hangs
the papery filigree
of the dragonfly’s wings.
