    “Each dawn is clear
    Cold air bites the throat.
    Thick frost on the pine bough
    Leaps from the tree
    snapped by the diesel”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    coneseed waits for fire
    And then thin forests of silver-grey.
    in the void
    a pine cone falls”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
