Forest

Forest of what may be called
strands and fibers of I
from which noise, frays along
Bind or join or lash together 
whatever is left of strewn
beaten and worn
and sighing into the fog
with a smile 
and beating them until they are dry
and warm and they smile 

For what is a forest
or a rich man if he is not 
gilded green with drops
rolling down his hills 
and provided the right sound 
may release an avalanche of now 
a new now 
a new now can be here
