"about rainforests"

Lost in the forest

i am lost

and have to be thousand times alert

every branch is delicate

blood vessel

i use my palm to touch

vulnerable warmth

a beating heart

reflected in the water

i dare not tremble

i fear things become blurred

that piercing beam of light

is the mind

i am shrouded

into faithful shadow

thick green leaves

are the skin

behaving like a big umbrella

shielding me like a rabbit

bundles of bones

sink into the water

and take root in the soil

i lean secretly

dare not to breath heavy

i found legs

among little birds flying free

where are the arms

i look around

they've been following

I'm lost

in thousands of quiet.
