Trees

I can feel the trees breathing.

I can see them

inhale our blemished truths,

pulling them deeper and deeper

until their souls are filled with fantasies.

I can see them

exhale all their dry, dark worries,

trying to force them out,

but the power embeds

in their lungs,

deeper than the fantasies can reach.

When I watch them

I can feel them breathing their worries

right down my spine

just as I've breathed my blemished truths

into their souls.
