We must write poems about trees, not just take pictures,
because a picture is always too far, too near, too simple.
If it shows the sweep of branches it misses the texture of bark and leaf.
A tree will not confine itself to one perspective. It is like history
or dreams, or anything we try to grasp like the blind ones
with the elephant: anything too big and too intricate and too sacred.
Anything, really.
