The Thicket

perception is merely an option

Hearing every cricket

seeing all the trees

makes your heart freeze

Sitting in a clearing

letting it do all the hearing

weeping by the willow

not having a pillow

the bark already carved

so late ive starved

For a tree to be free

for i have no tree with me

I got caught under them all

and I fell through the fall

resting in their shade

Wondering what yesterday made

for today and tomorrow
