Moment between clouds

Yesterday

in a moment between clouds

for a time without time

I suddenly sensed, I discovered

a hole

opening right in the midst of my chest

widening right through my back

I went to the edge of a forest

hawthorn-bluetit-eagle fern

to lay down under an oak tree

red ant-acorn-tree creeper

where I fell backwards into sleep

Today

when I woke up

I tried to move

but could not!

A little sapling of oak had grown

right through my back and the hole in my chest

filling it

binding me to the earth!

If there is a

Tomorrow

I will patiently wait

for its buds to unclench

and curiously gaze

at the shape of its leaves...
