Zywa
In the woods
If you are lucky, you will grow
slowly
sheltered by family
You begin at the beginning:
networking
in the ground
You eat slowly, make
every muscle fibre strong
inch by inch
and form a firm skin
to become a giant
as then
when there were no people yet
and you could count life
in ages, in thousands
of new moons, in years
that still are breathing
in the woods
