"Go to the pine if you want to learn about pine" Matsuo Basho How long is falling the autumn leaf torn of the too long summer. And in the high pines with their bodies defending the sky against the earth the steel edge of the winter is breaking in two. Both you and me toss both the time and the wind in pines propped up back to back. And the pines recognized us.
