The Tree CuttersA Poem by Leslie Philibertnot just about treesRoadside trees falling to the bottom of the sea, orange moonmen with profiles of edges and plastic, buzz like angry bees, so I crouch lost and wordless in the middle of the earth, under the forest, under moss, behind roots, but having small stones thrown into my eyes, am unable to look upwards, standing ashamed in my fern grave, trucks rumble past, even a massacre of pigs would leave them unconcerned, runed, coloured with the names of distant places, edges of strange towns alongside sand and gravel and the radio in my car lights green, fighting to regain sanity, helpless, all meaning down to a pulse, reason is sick this morning, just a lost voice.
