Poet Tree

lost and morally bankrupt it took 3 days

on the freeways till i arrived at

the circulation


station


a place where human nature and

local fauna re


connect


i sat in the pink chair by the open window

where i could shoot the breeze

with enormous


trees


and observe the delicate dance

between soil and


sun


she handed me a bowl of chilled

liquified beets with a spoonful

of sour


cream


sitting off center like a little

glacier lost in a

purple


sea


wondering how the political landscape

got so out of hand i fell asleep

and when i


awoke


the transformation had already begun

looking up i saw all

my branches


now


pathways for birds to mingle and the breeze

to tingle it really was

heaven on


earth
