Tree Sounds
April 5, 2019
Trees like to talk
I hear them whispering little insults
As I walk.
You’re so young, they say,
You can’t photosynthesize,
They murmur as I lay
Beneath their ancient branches.
I smile as I listen to the little jibes.
I know when the trees talk, they only jest.
Like an old friend, the trees will still be standing
When I need to lean against them to rest.
