in the far north
An ancient spruce lives up to ten thousand years
Odd shaggy bits
of memory flourish & multiply
From an ever-greater distance
I begin to see
Like mosquitoes there is also something that flies whisper.

A stranger asked the time, clearly
we need people
to chew their food with their mouths open.
