breathe out
somewhere a tree falls
a sign
like STOP
your heart races
but can't win
perhaps “it” is a symbol
of another “it”
i came across that tree today
gasping for breath

Hi Dianne and Mathew,
Thanks for the comments. Astute comments I might say, with appreciation.
Hi Eamon,
Unsure is the word entire for my poetry, the home of doubt and metaphysical waffling. Always glad to have you weigh in.
