In these silent arbres
Spidery and wizened
Twisted dark sepia
Mad-hatted with green
They always lack a companion--
Solitary on grass carpets
In the midst of sunrises or
Les couchers de soleil;
Wrapped in shiny pink-and-gold foil
Mist boxes them even more
Les arbres just disappear
So trés jolie
Seulement dans le moment
Je suis une arbre
I am a tree
