The Tree, the Branch and the Leaf

The tree, the branch and the leaf are all the same
The tree, the branch and the leaf and the grass beneath are all the same
The tree, the branch and the leaf and the grass beneath and the rain on the grass are all the same
The tree, the branch and the leaf and the grass beneath and the rain on the grass and the man looking out at the tree, the branch and the leaf and the grass beneath and the rain on the grass are all the same
And we’re here to tell you about it.

Sunset was sighted through a vine of climbing flowers. The vine was open to the sun, the sun was climbing through the hours.

If today were a novel, the sunset wouldn’t be the ending but the chapter in which the strange salmon and purple light changes everything.
