Everything I ever knew Bundled in a waft of air Weaving thru Branches of the deep forest Everything she ever knew Left in a compact she dropped Buried under Thin layer of snow in the deep forest Bright-colored tape stood out to me. I walked & followed a line of blue tape Crunching branches and leaf's under my boots Holding the tape like a stair-rail  A lifeline. The opposite hand waving off twigs. The blue tape ran into a red tape that Came from another forest corner I ran into a yellow and a navy blue tape line, too Soon, tape from everywhere, every color in the mist The fog of the deep forest seemed to condense and Flow Down to wherever these lines led Hundreds of different tape lines Used by campers to track their way back To track their way back. I held onto this story and followed All the way into deep forest sanctuary They all met at this dark spot. A massive entanglement of rainbow'ed tape Swaying like a hammock  Held frozen in the mid-canopy  A complicated dizzying web;  I stopped there, in awe of a feeling I got                                          someone felt missing.

Deep Forest
Everything I ever knew Bundled in a waft of air Weaving thru Branches of the deep forest Everything she ever knew Left in a compact she dropped Buried under Thin layer of snow in the deep forest Bright-colored tape stood out to me. I walked & followed a line of blue tape Crunching branches and leaf's under my boots Holding the tape like a stair-rail  A lifeline. The opposite hand waving off twigs. The blue tape ran into a red tape that Came from another forest corner I ran into a yellow and a navy blue tape line, too Soon, tape from everywhere, every color in the mist The fog of the deep forest seemed to condense and Flow Down to wherever these lines led Hundreds of different tape lines Used by campers to track their way back To track their way back. I held onto this story and followed All the way into deep forest sanctuary They all met at this dark spot. A massive entanglement of rainbow'ed tape Swaying like a hammock  Held frozen in the mid-canopy  A complicated dizzying web;  I stopped there, in awe of a feeling I got                                          someone felt missing.
