The trees pour wood
From the earth
Out to the delta
Of a sky over them
And the clouds
Condense to surf,
Wisps of foam
Drifting over the boughs,
The ground continues
Hoping to make leaves
And blocking out
The sun and moon
It desires shade,
A way to cool down,
Since it is pulled
To orbit by other bodies
