I dream of the Sequoias
singing
when the breeze
dances amongst maestro
limbs— carving invisible piano notes
on their bark.
The song is old
I cannot understand the ancient lyric.
My wild pen shards words on this page
like fragments
crushed by the thought of giants
who do not speak my language
and I cannot express theirs.
