A Gathering of Trees
by Jennifer Dunlop

I survey you, my audience

            a gathering of trees

rows of umber, tawny sentinels

            welcoming, waiting

I have no answers

 

Trees do not loathe

            but neither do they love

prevailing stately and silent

 

We attempt communication

            awkward, ill-timed overtures

but when you touch me

it calms this strident tumult

assuages

my skin’s longing

 

your delicious pressure

            expansive bliss

 

Trees leave such stumbling gestures to us

 

love, the great experiment

            a human failure

 

but also,

the sweetest meaning

            the confused

joy
