brainstorming for "withering of the boughs"

I haven't gotten terribly far with Withering of the Boughs as of yet, but it looks like the poem holds a lot of promise. This afternoon over a cup of apple and spice tea I located what seemed to be the most obvious imagery and sketched a series of 3 first initials. None of the initials strike me as being "the one," but there are elements in the last two that I especially like. Those will be briefly broken down individually in the following posts. As you will note, there is a list underneath the poem called "actions." Withering Boughs seems to feature a series of phrases where one object is acting upon another. Clearly stated ones are listed in the hope that they will become the basis for a descent title page at least.
