TREES

 

I’m too beat even to write about it

leaves fall onto the road in front of me 

squirrels prepare and gather

high in the trees, I’ve heard they forget 

74% of the nuts they bury

and this is important to new growth

a writerly thing here 

would be to note things I forget 

that make things better
