FOREST FLOOR/TREE DWELLERS

This is my favorite view from the forest floor. I lie on a bed of sticks and fauna and stare until the wood bends.

Until the sun shifts.

I like the shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssshing sound of the leaves. It's restful.

The Tree Dwellers are sleeping usually during the day. They wear hoods and they look at me with piercing yellow eyes.

I will lie here forever. I don't want to move. I won't even scratch that ant off me walking up my leg.

The sun has burnt my face, in patches taht the leaves don't shade.

I heard the music of the forest: the clicking and cawing sounds, the scuttling hyere and there... the rapid movement through the undergrowth.
