Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

The Leaves Have Eyes

The leaves have eyes
You think no one sees what you do
You are wrong
The leaves are thousands of silent witnesses
They write my story in bark etchings
that you can't decode
The roots remember everything
When you say that I best be careful or
you'll bury me in the ground where no one
will find me, I just smile
The trees will know
They're waiting for me.
