A Hollowed Out Tree
Living inside the base of a hollowed out tree
since childhood, my dreams have been formed
Living inside a space where the walls almost touched
kept me hidden, protected, and warm
Living inside a place that no others could see
beyond privacy, I became lost in myself
Living inside the base of a hollowed out tree
—where boyhood memories and wishes still dwell
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)
