We Three

The Saints of April

Todd Davis
Coltsfoot gives way to dandelion,

plum to apple blossom. Cherry fills

our woods, white petals melting

like the last late snow. Dogwood's

stigmata shine with the blood

of this season. How holy

forsythia and redbud are

as they consume their own

flowers, green leaves running

down their crowns. Here is

the shapeliness of bodies

newly formed, the rich cloth

that covers frail bones and hides

roots that hold fervently

to this dark earth.

City of Bellingham, Canadian Mountain Range, looking north from Chukanut Ridge.

Safety first!

Looking east to Mount Baker. Hidden but between the ridge and Baker is Lake Padden.

Living on the edge...

Bellingham Bay

The perfect hiking team!
