I Go Meet a Friend

By | 13 May 2024

I go meet a friend.
Because bugs move from this tree to that tree I go meet a friend.
Because the tree moves before the bug moves I go meet a friend.

When trees move they also don’t move.

Walking along the trees.
Walking along the light shining on the trees.
The light that turns on and off, on and off, blinks first in the head.

Because bugs move from this light to that light I go meet a friend.
If I walk from this light to that light do all the lights stop?
Distant, one light flickers.

I go meet a friend.
Bugs move from this friend to that friend the light goes dark in the head.
To sleep darkness descends.

In the tree that stopped walking is a hole.
The hole swells.
I went to meet a friend and I’m not coming back.
