TRUNK CALL

TRUNK CALL

trees get caressed
the wind don’t give two hoots
about how
gnarled the trunk
venerable the branches

me, however,
not so lucky

had to donate
my sex manuals to charity
now the print
grown
   so small

funny how it happens, how
time loses elasticity
my sprint becomes
an amble
   becomes a crawl

but you
faithful breeze
finding blossoms around
my boughs could
not believe
I had
    something under your
touch eager to
comply, act
in

  concert
go reciprocal

be bathed and baptised
believe in

gospel of my resurrection
what you whispering here
