brother tree

i stand beneath-
thy broken arms
which once stretched so lovingly
towards thy father sun.

thy broken branches now do rest-
upon the ground, midst leaves and stones
for thy sister storm came by
and took thine arms and thy branches-
stole thy leaves away

but tis no trouble, i hear thou utter-
for there is always another year to grow.

  • Le corbeau et la femme

    Je suis un corbeau avec un plumage noir. J’aime les bijoux. J’aime aller au parc. Je vois une femme avec un collier. Je veux le collier.

    Alors, je fondre sur elle et prendre le collier. Je suis un content corbeau!

  • To Be the Fox

    to answer with such a simple thing, 

    but 'tis what draws my heart — 
    the Fox, silver fur, dancing in moonlight.
