Tree Rings

Sun, wind, solstice, tincture,
Excuse me, do you guys, yeah yeah yeah, that's alright,
Found art, found sound, symbiote, frond,
Sentience rippled in a pond.

Smoke-filled, sand-filled, bone-filled beak
Walkers on the seashore, on the sandstone, on the sidewalk,
Crèpe, crushed velvet, abyssinian jade,
Medicine rattling in the shade.

And to my right there sits
A woman with the scent of hyacinths
Tapping fingers, tapping fingers.

To my left, reflection and sunlight,
Raven and the Sea-Bear
Every new year a ring on the tree.
