All Trees Fly to Heaven

A Soulless Alexandrine

All trees fly to heaven where there are no humans

Or any other animals, including dogs.

This tree paradise inhibits all albumins*

Only receiving roots, trunks, leaves, branches and logs.

Trees’ entire bodies reach their heaven, not their souls

Since their spirit is the fibre of every part

With all lost pieces growing in their spirit’s holes

Surpassing almost every human’s so-called heart.

When a tree falls in the forest, all trees can hear

Its silence as it prepares to descend within

Where a thin string of consciousness makes it all clear

There is nothing left to ever again, begin.

-----

* The most abundant circulating protein found in animal plasma.

-----

A song that relates to the poem somehow.
