Dreaming of somewhere else

Tree watching

Apple of my eye,

Fall down for me,

I know gravity,

The road ahead sprawls under the setting sun,

Half draped in banyan shades, half in orange.

I love the full moon of the cloudy night,

The road an endless serpent; the moon a hidden pearl.

The colossus felled

the roots remained,

the uninformed sap bled

A puddle ripples,

a shoe is lifted,

the mud pops,

the trees shiver,

rustling overhead.
