you feel an acorn drop on your head
and it doesn't hurt,
but now
you are always looking for squirrels
where there are none
yet, if you look, intently, at the trees,
at the winding and intertwining of their branches,
you will see the crows,
subtle, nigh invisible
in every tree in every forest
hidden amidst the leaves
you might lock eyes with them
and they will look away, or they may fly,
but never explain a thing
but the wind will blow
and it will remember
and it will follow you on your journey
