Untread roads of roots
Where the weight of the bark
Makes the tree trunks bow
Lashed up leaves
Tied to never fall
Branches picked apart
Yet there’s no autumn
This copse costs lots
To keep protected
Every little stem
To keep tied and connected
Impacting
Infrareds
In
Infinite
Icy
Idyll
Ivy
Red dead diamonds
In the forest of forever fall
Tied
By the twine that binds
Their veins still to twigs
Long after they’re dead
They’re admired and
Inspiring
These leaves
Have no more left
To weep
Hot bloody cuts
Of precious stone
Sticks from sticks
Rock and wood
Had always wished they could
Form a strength any like this
Rubber twine’s
Time to shine
As xylem bonds bark
And stones so fine
Stiff leaves
Soft trees
Bloody diamonds
And birch kiss
Their deathwish
Immortalized as this
