    The tall trees, compassionate, understood everything:grief - they stood stock-still, branches drooped in despair;fear - they exposed their many roots, tugged their gold hair;anger - they shook in the storm, pointed their bony fingers. - The World of Trees (inspired by the Forest of Burnley)

    The limbs of a stand of birch tree hold up the forest's form like women's bones. This grove has a magnetic pull, beckoning toward a carpet of blue-green mosses where I long to lie on my back and sing into the leaves. But it is a place where bodies were stacked, and I don't want to make friends with trees that once hid the dead.
