Growth

the growing tips on a young conifer in the forest along Seaton Valley. The road from Trebrownbridge on the A38 to Hessenford is one of my favourites, a hidden gem in fact.

I was born naked.
My beloved parents kindly gave me a name.
When I reached twenty, I thought
“A name is a chain, I want to abandon it.”
Whoever I question
No one answers me.
When I hear the wind in the pines
I get an answer.
