Tree Spirits
Tree Spirits
The clouds overhead today
are black as coal,
and the wind
is threatening.
I’m gathering blueberries
with the baby on my hip
when we both hear it
the slow,
steady creaking
of the branches above.
She points up,
and I politely ask,
Are the tree spirits speaking today?

I love the details and images and especially that final line: Are the tree spirits speaking today?
I felt this in my bones.
