Ode to a georgia o'keefe tree



To know a tree best,
lean your bones and skin

against the sleek round firmness
of burnished charcoal bark.

Touch limbs that reach sky.
Twined twins grow from center cleft

sprouting green sisters and cousins
leaflet babies birthed by wood. 

See the soft animals who
make their hidden home here,

crawling over nubs, chattering in leaves leaving
small bits of fur and feather.
