Forest Fire

A Poem by Catherine O'neill

maybe it doesn't mean

and it's free. like air.
 
but I do
and that is pushing me ever farther away
into a sea of self

free is easy
and like the Redmen say
it don't grow on trees
 
I still hear those sounds of pines
in the burned out forest we knew
a lonely special forest cut from from the Ice
