Ama Kit Xmas Gift - 12_2020

Ya’ersi Tree
Hook said
that he never put his
all-seeing eye to a
man’s art.
“Just God’s,”
he always insisted,
or as I like to think,
just Earth’s.
Lichen
on a tree, when you go
and press your nose too close
is that​.
When your
eyes start to tear, ​beauty
blooming wider the closer
you stare.
So I
flattened my nose to the
tree I’d dubbed Ya’ersi
and looked.
