Life and Limb

Seeding the resistance.

gray asphalt road surrounded by tall trees

With blasts on the horizon again, I want to know the woman who grew a forest around her to show the world its trees, offering a resistance. These ones are harder to kill, she said. She called them sacred and some jeered. 

We don’t know, she explained, what we destroy.

What’s in them, anyway? someone asked.

Time, she answered. Time.

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.
