seeing things


black trees, green grass, white sky

the clouds are still
the trees are moving
the shadows are slippery

the trees are the shadows
the shadows are green
the trees are black

clouds are white trees
trees are green clouds

the trees are upside-down
their branches are roots in blue earth

branches are fingers, branches are cracks
leaves are mirrors, leaves are ripples

leaves drip into the sky, ducks paddle in the trees
lovers lie in the clouds, the sun lies in the pond

the sun is a hole in the pond
the sun is flat and white
the pond is filled with clouds

there are fish in the clouds
there are birds in the pond
the birds have fins, they dive into the sky

green sky, blue trees, white grass
