dawn redwood at sunset

blackened, wizened, deep-based thing

the late light scratches scarlet grooves

in to the trunk


and there are ancient reservoirs

of fingernails

and secret human stories


and the wind

is a blind carpenter


and the turning earth

an eraser


and the sky the skin of an eye

blinking away

civilisations

and centuries

like grit

So stunning. Your poems speak directly to the soul of things that the mind has forgotten. Thank you for sharing.
