lyrics

crescendo

dust rises from this gravel road, logging trucks
haul out today’s carcasses. in a land so rich, must we still
 
destroy to survive? I follow a curve and step
onto wooded path, palatial green

within steps, road vanishes. soundlessness. leaves
knit overhead; air cool and green
 
to my skin, to my lungs. I inhale
chlorophyll. observe moss on rotting log, living wood
 
cedars hatch atop ageless stumps, ferns
wave, regal, lush, as rustling
 
wind builds this elaborate symphony
of forest, crescendo
 
to the left, exposed bed of rock
where next spring’s creek will run
