Casey, I can't say I take anything at all from L5, but I like thinking of the "elderly bone" as a "still dancer." Tom

winter branch
once part of the nearby tree
curved and delicate
as an elderly bone
one of nature's tokens
a still dancer
cast in shadow and light

Sharp, Casey, though for me it would be sharper without 'one of nature's tokens'.

Tom and Milner,
Thank you for looking. I took out the one of nature's tokens line. This brings the elderly bone adjacent to the still dancer image. I think it works better this way so thanks. I cut a lot out, then put back, now a little cut.

Casey,
For me this piece is now sharp and beautiful - well written and well whitled!
