night vision

i can't see you anymore because you are standing behind the tree.
you are standing behind the tree and i can no longer see you.

i can't see you anymore because you seem to have crawled inside of said tree. all i can see are green leaves and branches that are twisted and haunting. you appear to be on the inside of this tree, (not even peering out) and due to this i can no longer see you.

i can't see you anymore because you have moved the tree out of its position (both in the land and in history) and are currently residing in the depths of the belly of the newly exposed muck. in the midst of such upheaval i can no longer see you.

i can't see you anymore because you have now infact become the tree. you are no longer even aware of human movements/ thought patterns / heart shatterings and in the absence of blood that this metamorphosis has created i can no longer see you.

i can't see you anymore because i have crawled inside of you. your bark blinds me and the sap of your growth makes me drowsy; like a young wolf cub that has cried herself to sleep.
goodnight. i can no longer see you.
