Love this. The Problem of Describing Trees by Robert Hass The aspen glitters in the wind And that delights us. The leaf flutters, turning, Because that motion in the heat of August Protects its cells from drying out. Likewise the leaf Of the cottonwood. The gene pool threw up a wobbly stem And the tree danced. No. The tree capitalized. No. There are limits to saying, In language, what the tree did. It is good sometimes for poetry to disenchant us. Dance with me, dancer. Oh, I will. Mountains, sky, The aspen doing something in the wind.
