With fluid reach

cypress hold both the sun

and gathering birds, giving audience

to dawn.

Union comes alone

not in the company of thought,

thought anchored by convenience-

convenient right and wrong, reliable should and shouldn’t..

No and Union hear infinitely different music.

Moving to what the oak and crow listen to,

freedom arrives,

the controls of ethics not limiting the ability

to discern the sound of light and

feel the texture of color

painting the day.
