I went on a walk that
turned out to be a pilgrimage.
The tree I sought stood
bearing welcome gifts and
news from the year past.
Yes, traffic on the street
had indeed gone up but
so had her height – I get
more sky to breathe, she said.
Picking up the seeds she
showered, I passed my hands
over and around them going
deeper into their textures till
I passed right through to the
other side – the space
that joined the top
of the tree to her roots.
