Trees of Giants

By Vivi Sojorhn

   

They are a wonderful

Stumps of living from so

Long ago, we can only

Imagine a different world

In this desert of yucca and

Prickly pear blossoms

The tree covered the ground

With dappled shadows

Giants passed below

Sloths, and Dire Wolves and Mamoth

Families loping with North American horses

Volcanos exploded a day that made

Eternity of this forest

But death is not so among

The crooked broken trunks

A pine has lost its cone

In the small cracks

And sprouted a new tree

Reincarnating in any space available.

In any time available.
