Breathing Leaves

Introduction

Derrick Gailes

 

Everything in life, that has life – 
doesn’t possess lips.
Oxygen, H20, a literal life that 
lives; is not always as it seems,
depending on how one perceives.

For example, the rain forest…
Run forest run; to see the sights,
to be beheld, a fluorescent heaven,
nothing that would even almost dwell
in a venue deemed a hell.

A botany of life, inception as a
seed…

Breathing leaves.
