Leaves whisper
Voice of the trees
Oak sap sip
Crackle tip the seam
Of quiet and my present mood
Crisp blue pink
Cripple trunk half sunk
Mossy tendrils
Buried the fire
Smoke tongue
My clothes and skin
Gathered down
Once its all ashes
There is nothing for my
Inspection
The stars live here
Through branches
Spindly gripped switch
Of earth and the unknown
