Poems
Mar 2016
See the forest
See the forest for the trees
I told myself
You’ve been staring at the same one
All your life
Out of all the trees you could see
You had to see this one
And only this one
For all the lush green pines
The strong old oaks
The verdant maples
You see this… thing
And it ruins
It sours
It burns
Everything good
See the forest for the trees
Please
And maybe then…
Maybe you’ll be alright
