Tree

One talks to a tree. She has nobody.
The tree talks to her. She has gone crazy.

Isn’t it lonely?
It could be more. It is in fact tragedy.

One two three. One two three.
Want to tree. Want to be a tree.
Want to talk to a tree. Wane to tree.

Wantok talks to a tree. She has nobody.
That could be a phenomenology.

Wantok talks to a tree.
She has nobody.
Birds flew away.
The clouds drift away.
The sun sets on the park
Wantok still stands.

Wantok talks to a tree.
Indeed that is very lonely.
what a tragedy.
