The Amorous Perspective - Magritte

I see the wood from the trees is taken
     they bare no malice in their spent state
just disappear
   leaving a lonely landscape
I linger in the drafting of possibilities 
          how protection was a door
  how I gave back the heart 
    the pointlessness of felling trees 

 study the un-chalked outline
wonder who fits
    what, if anything, fills voids 
  scale all distorted 
everything is too big
    leaves
  trees
    leaving a place 

   the world outside is so sparse
is life really a thing
    or just a haze around veins and form
seen through eyes that offer structure 

   the whole shebang is out of place
  what happens when...
you see the wood for the trees
    you hope you won't be lost 
     you hope you won't be disoriented  anymore

but focus isn't our gift, we are too lost
  or too locked in on what's straight ahead
