Sunlight leaking through every tree of girth White tree sap dripping onto the earth Feeding insects scurrying with no fright This sap of life that gives our eyes sight Gives us shadows to dance in praise till night Breaking through the web of branches impermanent A shining sap beyond the blue firmament That our forebears tasted every...

The wild hair of the trees lay down on the ground. Others burn up in a blue smoke. The severed branches in small heaps.
