And Then

The Trees caressed the bare 
rounded underside of the full moon.
The leaves leaving delicate trails upon the scars
 and craters that dotted the skin.
The branches guiding and gliding across the bright 
newness.
Tantric in their timing,
the scene unfolded through the night 
and into the dew laden morn.
A stranger approached as the memory
 evaporated with the days new promise.
the Birds who bore witness were silent. 
The trees had barely the time to notice 
before
the roaring screams burst forth from handheld 
saws.
The Moon was alone when night came again.
