In The Forest

Tell me

(I have not seen a shooting star
(I only imagine the northern lights
(if for a brief moment I believe
(in the northern lights

do you believe

(I have not seen a solid lake
(I’ve never slid upon its surface
(I have never been the only one
(to save anything from sliding

that bit

(I have never found a way to
(remove the ego from a story

about the tree

(but have I seen a forest weighed down
(have I seen waterfall vapour turn to ice
(have I known the end of the world
(have I seen a stranger’s smile behind it

in the forest?

(yes
