Trees are Bridges to the Sky: Poems

Industrial culture casts humans as parasites: devouring our living home. Yet endless metaphors exist. Other cultures and species widening spirals of abundance show us we are also fruit: gifts from the Earth to our future.

The quality of our seeds does not arise from wealth or technology, but through the unending labor of personal and cultural transformation.
