Ask a Tree


Ask a tree how to enter
your own skin,

how to dwell in a temple of clay
while being part of the wind
embracing and unfolding…

Each breath, a dance
calling forth the morning dew.

Each year, a ring, 

grown from the center
of its zikr— a remembrance 

among the stars,

as bark and leaves fall away
to become fertile ground
for those yet to come.


—Lorena
