P03 Tree Vampire

I'm in love of trees

I love their wood, their leaves

Fifty shades of browns, shades of greens

And more than can be seen.

I'm in love with aspen

Their white skin and their grains

So sweet and alive in the wind

When I'm trying a fall to find

I like the veins of their wood

To caress their story under my fingers

Reading centuries in lines for good

Walking on their path forever

I'm climbing on wood steps

I avoid stumps and trunks

Just to see a young shoot, drunk

of life, of infinite skies and sunshine

I want them to be mine

A cube, a sphere or a plate

Drinking their syrups and saps

I'm back to life, king of peaks

I'm a builder, a mountaineer

In cities of concrete, beams and ladders

Give me your young leaf

So fragile under my teeth

I like you dear or alive

Just to make me live.
