Trees stand, three dimensional testimony— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
to life’s pressing itself into the inanimate
like dye poured into water
their fingers reach to celebrate the difference
These days I can meditate their waving
as the lifeless wind moves them
feel their forms as if I
were both tree and wind
Fractal explosions cast
on the canvas of years.
