Long Finger Poem

04/28/2026 14:58h
I'm working on my poems and working with my fingers not my head. Because my fingers are the farthest stretching things from me. Look at the tree. Like its longest branch I touch the evening's quiet breathing. Sounds of rain. The crackling heat from other trees. The tree points everywhere. The branches can't reach to their roots though. Growing longer they grow weaker also. Can't make use of water. Rain falls. But I'm working with these farthest stretching things from me. Along my fingertips bare shoots of days then years unfurl in the cold air.
