Millenia#
the slow motion of lives in the forest depths,
empires of pine wage ancient wars against city-states of oak.
an insurgency of maple hides in their midst, gathers at their trunks,
a nascent rebellion that unwinds over centuries.
morning dew soaks the slick bark of the frozen sentinels
and paints with strokes, measured in years, the green of pungent mold spores.
here, a pile of stones older than humanity, hewn from a mountain,.
the jagged edges of its primordial eruption softened by quiet eons,
now draped with pagan cloaks of forest magic,
the altars of secret divinations,
pooling with the blood of moss.
the harmonic revolutions of parallel life,
the millennial melodies converging into a chorus of now.
