Tree Rings

I've watched trees push-out
from soil, the way meteors
reject the planets
and tears from you seep
through the cracks, years
have wasted
the Walrus comes out at
night, their playground I
knew well in my youth
comfort changes shapes,
now it shines purple against
the crater of my soul

This is profound writing, James, one I almost missed...and so glad I didn't. A great look back at years behind but never lost. Well done! Love, Carrie
