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.
