It Is a Hot Humid Dripping Wet Moist Morning
It's not every morning where the juice's flow
from every where.
Where even green leaves
shouldn't be freed from the tree.
Here where the white sticky sap
ran the length of the tree.
A thickness to the air
moist air, being sucked in and out by
laboring lungs once stout.
These are the morning where noon
stands still
and what is thinly worn sticks
to the once thick bark.
Mushrooms try to poke up past their
broken backs
strangely flat misshapen heads
their moist yet strangely still.
Pale moonlight where around one green bush
the moon moves up the hill.
