HUMAN TREES
My rivers, your veins
run through the terrain of our anatomies,
nourish.
satiate my thirst - your needs
make room for my roots
We go deep, way down beneath
I am always me—I’m also another
We’re one, connection
I want life, I create life, a touch of design
Despite the distance, I know you well
I know how it feels, entangled roots
Communication
I exist on the outside, upwards
I see light, beams from the sun
I bloom in its presence; it feeds my phases, endless metamorphosis
You don’t notice me, I observe you daily
I don’t need you, yet you can’t live without me
You do not tend to me
But I don’t care
Come, I’ll keep you safe
Let me offer you my shade and love
