a snake crawls
down out of a tree…
i have questions.

a snake crawls
down out of a tree…
i have questions.

branches twist
in pretzel-like weaves,
stronger for it.

sinuous limbs
of a sprawling tree look
like wriggling squid.

rain trees
form a vaulted dome
over city bustle.

“turn left to go right”:
branches sweep around in arcs,
is the tree moving?

one oak tree
stands atop the hill:
unstruck by lightning.

cypress tips
glow with afternoon sun:
yellow for a time.
