Short Sequoias Poems

      Rise my fellow's
      insert the skies
        the sequoias

An ocean I will give
If kisses were water
Sequoias I will give
If hugs were trees

If that’s what it takes
To bring Mari back
For she truly is missed by all
She is missed by me....

with their rugged

Branches of redwoods arching to the skies
like the cleansed breath
Knotted stems
unspoiled
Grows.
