Because the Trees Believe I Am a Sculpture

the sculptures say a bird
the birds bleed a cloud
the clouds calculate a berm
the berms bleat a sax
the saxes suppose a window
the windows whisper a bucket
the buckets boast a verb
the verbs voice a shadow
the shadows shudder a hammock
the hammocks hum a gaze
the gazes grant an ear
the ears echo a lake
the lakes list a breeze
the breezes bet a pier
the piers posit a stump
the stumps suggest a silence

as I surround them with these
stones in motion again
