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?”
