Don’t let it run away from us
Things we feel when the rays touch our hands
Was it the other way?
“it” touching or as we intend to — we do.
Rise it does, it hides somewhere
behind a big tree.
we see as it does — we all know
casting both light and dark
Cut it down to see the sun — the whole of it
Cut, cut cut. Trees have blood
Dried and died. same old blood
Crawl now, one day, there’ll be no more.
A child asked, “Mom, why do trees hide us from the sun?”
