Have you ever set foot on a black forest?
Everything black against the deep blue sky
blackbirds and black thoughts ascend up high
black tree trunks
black leaves
and even black butterflies
I saw a black thought dangling from a tree
and very quickly it fell down on me
It crawled up my spine
and slithered into my brain
And as I left the forest
I forgot to do one thing
to deliver my black soul
