elmira avenue (in autumn)
|| -- something comforting, nostalgic
in the micro-mountainous footpaths,
disrupted and distorted
by the ageing roots of searching trees ---
stronger than cement &
reclaiming the earth below the earth
restoring urban to jungle,
& chaos to order
I t r a v e l
b a c k i n t i m e
I have a pink-and-white bike;
streamers flap from the handles
on either side,
beads clinking in the spokes of
wheels clinking over footpaths:
||
an obstacle course
crafted just for me
by my friends, the trees, the trees, the trees
and in the autumn, crunch-crunching
reddish-yellowy leaves, leaves
|| 27 ||||||||
alone
barefoot through the breeze
folding my entire self in slow heartbeats
of the trees,
of the trees.
