Your Tree of Life is Taking Shape

Your
Tree of life
Is taking shape
-
Its leaves made of labels
Bearing words that you spake
-
It is best that you think
Of the leaves
You attach
-
Once
Spoken
They
Hang there
-
You can't get them back

Egal Bohen

Dead Skin

The rock and stone
-
From which our cities are hewn
-
Is but dead skin
-
One must assume
--
Egal Bohen

On Earth

You
-
Should
-
Drink the bead
-
Of silver rain
-
That hangs
-After the spring shower
-
From a blade of new grass
-To understand
-
All
-
You need to know
-About your life
-
On Earth

-
