trees

they stand
abreast
in mingled
order,
firm and
strong
tall
and
long
and cast
a dark
air
still
and
cool.
our
gaze of
awe
will
render
them
order
like
trees in
a forest
lack
appeal.

but close
your
eyes
and
do
not stare
at their
physique,
angled
contours.
you
will
find
you
hear them
there
wrapping
around
each
other,
like
lovers
in the
forest.
