reaching sinews of Truth curl up from its roots
twisting tendrils taught to heaven
bendable, but unbreakable
biology abides, free in steadfast safety
a bird mislands on
peeling tree skin masquerading as branch
the devilish deception of partial truth
claws clutch, all is well
yet though Tree is unbreakable, its skin is flakable
pores peel away with one bird’s weight
the moment is quiet and abrupt
paradigm collapses
fly away bird without rest,
there is no safety in skin
I hope he finds the Tree.
