The Bent-Over Ones

Some trees look down when

they walk, certain willows

you know, all the way from

Lousiana to Alaska without

looking up. They studied

centuries of buffalo grass

toward Dakota. I have

traveled among foreign

trees. Some of them kneel

when they approach mountains.

Like them I have learned quite

A bit about the ground.
