Words are woods, I go
to, in search of solace
It is there, in artificial
darkness, I find light
Every leaf, a letter, part
of a deciduous anagram
Bird songs are echoes
in coded metaphors
Clouds are blank
sky pages, to be writ
Fungi and pine cones
are punctuation marks
Tree trunks are in rows
and rows of poetic prose
Even if lost, I always find my
way out, of the Black Forest.
