Point Of Day



From a distant high
not a breath in the sky,
quiet,
and strong suspicion
that beneath what one sees
of the blanket of trees
there is life.

Then from a point a shiver,
then another,
then more;
each greater than the shiver before.

Eventually no more, and knowledge:
a giant
lies on the forest floor.
