Ancient language

If you stand at the edge of the forest
and stare into it
every tree at the edge will blow a little extra
oxygen toward you

it has been proven
Leaves have admitted it

The pines I have known 
have been especially candid

One said
that all the breath in this world 
is roped together 

that breath is
the most ancient language.
