trees

trees,
great beasts of old.

ancient not just in age, but in nature,
standing tall, watching all

wise things, trees, knowing all they see

no words do they speak,
with no eyes they see,

they listen to the soft whisper of mycelia and roots,
tells them all they know

  • 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

    Now, I know it may seem common, even shallow —  
    to answer with such a simple thing, 

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