Greetings, Thanks for all your good work on this project! This isn’t exactly a story, it’s just a poem that I wrote inspired by an experience with a tree. I’m Marilyn’s youngest brother and sometimes I wish I was an artist too. Here is my offering:
DARK GREEN ANGER ARISING
Dark green anger arising
fiercely pulsing branches
The storm rages within and without
The tree knows your anguish
And shakes sympathetically until
The winds subside
Calm now
The bark transfigured
Says
“you can hear me”
in silence
