WinterTree

I used to write

About things and about

Feelings and about experiences

That is until I

Studied a winter tree

Free from its leaves

I noticed a similarity

There’s one central thing

That makes all other

Things possible I knew

Then that writing about

Was different than writing

From and that simple

Idea made the difference

I am the tree

My words the branches

And readers its leaves

Ciao

It’s almost here and

I’m already there and

It’s strange this and

I’m just waiting and

It’s feeling different and

I’m getting excited and

It’s about time and

I’m on my way

Diamonds

Remember my friends

You have to

Shovel a lot

Of coal to

Either find a

Or be found

As a diamond

TinySoSoTiny

How can I

Being so small

As to fit

On a pin

Think myself big

I’m a dot

A blemish even

Just a blink

My mind thinks

That I’m bigger

Than I am

It’s my heart

That knows though

That you are

Face

It’s odd

This reflection

Reflecting back

I see

A face

That’s not

My face

I remember

My face

That you

Saw then

But this

This face

No one

Ever sees

My youth

Is gone

Wrinkles replaced

By time
