Maple Seeds
by Thomas R. Smith

They twirl down in May wind, heavy noses aimed at earth. Their job is to pierce like tiny darts, slice through leaves to reach their target, blunt fins upended in grass.

Most will fail, but their failing helps a few succeeed. The maple race goes on. Both are the tree: the gigantic wooden structure each downed flyer knows how to build, and also this community of desire scattered in the shade

150 copies were printed in 1996 by Chip Schilling in a collaboration with Amanda Degener for Hand papermaking magazine's second portfolio.
