Trees. Green again.
But it’s 11:26 so you can’t see them.
So listen.
The wind, lending a branch it’s voice,
it’s a small one. Hoarse.
So listen.
Strain beyond the street that’s near,
streams of cars, gone again before they were here.
So listen.
The rustling; secrets bustling between new leaves of old trees,
filled from root to crown with stories.
So listen.
Don’t see, and maybe,
you’ll be able to hear them.
