pearls sewn on wedding
dresses, shining…
Tree
be still and know
that your heart
cannot literally
beat out of your chest…
A tree looked downward, to see the ground was long gone…
we are two trees,
you and I,
we sit next to each
other, not looking…
I watch the birds that land
in the tree outside my window,
but when I’m looking at my screen…
you know
the whole get a giant tree thing seemed like a way cooler idea…
Point of view,
you’re looking over hills,
undulating with heather
and shrubbery…
Hello sun,
hello shade,
hello hand reaching out….
only a slice,
up the stairs,
hemmed in
by stone walls…
when I am numb
I crave sensation
your fingers tangling
in my hair, wind…
