Forest Abandon

. for public domain

Each direction I turn,
each way I cast my eye,
giant Sequoias pierce the sky.

In the immensity
I dissolve, like raindrops
blend into an ocean,

not Euclidean points
in an infinite space,
but flesh to bark and leaf.


Alternate last line:
flesh to root, and bark, and leaf.
