Different trees
showing bark markings
tattoos of seasons
scattered on the ground
peeling back
revealing new skin
we are the observer
watching the colours
change from brown to grey
the life of bark
hanging sculptures
botany haute couture
worn for a season
then discarded
moving into mulch
protection for the smaller
species - moisture holding
I carry a selection, carefully,
into my office
a riff off your poem https://write.as/dogtrax/deadwood and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv52c9j7kOw
ReplyDeleteThanks for Deadwood poem. Nice riffing.
DeleteBark behaves the same in every hemisphere I think.
