Author notes

Strange how old bones kind of match branches etc when there aren't any leaves. I guess we shed it all at some point.... and become one with a single source.... nature.

In a list

    this struck a chord and reminded me of a haiku I wrote a few months ago about a remote island I went to by boat where the tress were leafless and white as bones...like you said becoming one again with their source--

    desolate island--
    dying trees
    reach up to heaven
