Thunderbird Season

Written by: Adrienne Yeardye

what if you were 
a 2000 year old
tree

no such thing
and me neither

there would be days
of sunshine
days of rain

in Summer
all the other trees
would bloom around you
green glowing

fireflies would light
the evening 
moving their stars
within your reach

and you would call to them
the trees
the fireflies
the stars
