Heart of the Forest



When you're at the heart of the forest, after it rains
a misty tongue licks across the trees.
Everything sparkles like spilt oil and fog hangs around the tree limbs
like cigarette smoke lingers about a beautiful woman.
Clinging to the aura of the storm,
reluctant to take in a breath of fresh air,

unwilling to release the heady sensation of holding your breath

until you're half way between this world
and the next.
