Evidence for Trees

What will we do for supper

when do I get time off

climbing trees

and not experiencing

care

the kind I need

not

that

which only you think you know how to give.

We’re coming to get you

is everything ok?

the truth is, you’re in danger

while snow falls

like leaves fall

A monk’s station

but

I never saw it.

I don’t feel discovered

I still have my mind

I understand a basic Truth

woods of words

our bodies don’t matter

you can build a world

(a forest)

but imagine if your

greatest regret could be wiped away -

do you know what it is?

Could you make a frottage?

What would it have been like,

if I had not signed up for loss?

Would it be a simple life?

The two knowing ones wheeled the trolley

realizing what was amiss - you cant just replace people

with perfect

physical geometry

and organized wild fig jungles.

calibration

figure this out

you don’t think I’m real?

Look! my knots

feel my branches -

this always happens

messing with our minds,

when will we trust

when will you KNOW me?

Its my fault I served a shadow

instead of you

don’t make it all about you.

let me see your wrist

is there a machine beneath?

suspension in tears

a lost grip on reality.

There is no time for objective experience

It’s more efficient than you think.

Have we been replaced

consciousness is separate from fear

we will never have to fear losing each other again

I’m securing our future in an arboreal world

when the mind left

the sparks flew

even though she was tied to a trunk.

please stop fighting I cant take the noise

here in my lonely words

which you make fly

all over unsung pages

recycled saplings

this is for your own good

we didn’t want to hurt you

don’t resist us

you will be fine

and when I heard that

I knew I was not.
