talking trees

trees in conversation

~

they say

if trees communicate

they do so

beneath the ground

communication network

of rootlets

and mycelia

~

I still listen

above ground

to the friction squeal

of trunks

rubbing together

flutter of birch bark

whisper of leaves

~

I think they try

to learn my language

speak to me

of longevity, the cycle

of the story in layers

added year to year

bilingual trees
