this thousand year old tree <br />so old, its barks break apart <br />long dry mouths all over that <br />sing songs of rain and shine <br />despite the hardening wrinkles <br /> <br />if i could understand the language <br />of trees, i could tell a million secrets <br />of the solar system, their close friends <br />by day, by night, waving to the heavens <br />and the sun, the tree has him in his skin <br />like two lovers corpulating<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-trees-and-the-sun/
