i am made of trees.

parchment skin and deep roots
dragging at the dark earth,
long limbs lifted
to the sky, and a thousand tales
tucked in every rustling breath.

but he wants a flower.
Flowers are pretty, love, but I'll still be standing long after they wilt.

I'm back!  *delighted singsong voice*  This poem was gorgeous already, but then I got to the end of the line - and it suddenly twisted the whole poem around, and made me look at it again!  So now it's gorgeous AND multi-layered!!
