I stand at the gate    
waiting for the tour guide  
I want to show him
my childhood trees  
tresses    
dreams and magpies  
thumbquakes    
henchmen  
visit with me
take this trip
memory of your making
you
got me in the heart
lucid fire below the smoke
lines between dirt and lace
split from brown bark
blood in spread of knots
root to tip leaf veins
trees, trees, oh the trees
tender shoots grow slow green
curl around a dream lie
die
hard breathless death
you
got me in the soul
roots turn downward
crying to rich earth
I beg you
give me this moment
sharing secrets buried
for growth unnoticed
in silence only grows down
I am the tourist of my life
waiting
for the tour guide
to permit me

Milady Kate, some lines just penetrate to the soul
      ... like these (sigh).
         Thank you for sharing such beauty.
