The Red Tree by Carmen Alexandra
When that one red fire tree sticks above the rest
on that autumn mountain,
I’m glad you saw it, the extraordinary among
the ordinary, so Wordsworthian,
the special one and
I want to be with you
because I love
your smell,
your breath,
your kiss,
the passionate ones, and
I want more, greedily,
much more of you
and the trees.
