~Trees~

who tucks
you in
at night?
comfort
is silent
and secret

I asked you
if you saw
the trees
flashing
and then
going dark
again, quiet
you laughed,
and said I
noticed the
weirdest thing's

most of us
view the world
from the
outside
it seems
I see it
from the
inside out

coping from
the outcome
in hindsight
tangled up
with you
notging lasts
like untamed
thing's

the best thing's
about tonight
is we're not
fighting

the air
is smoke and vibrating
electric peach
melting through
the black lace
of trees
even the bugs
fly lazy
