The Healing in Trees



            I.


            the full moon is


                    mirror        window        portal


            lunar memory


                    transports me to a grove long ago


            it an echo of a still more ancient garden



                      his hand reached     her will theirs


                      the last moment they were truly one


                      taste and see             truth or lie


                            that moment dying began


                      disequilibrium          legacy of blame


                         implanted on the double helix



            his voice a whisper he asks the vision once again


                    thy will


            he sees the mending of the violated tree


                    its disunity healed by the violated body


            all good all evil gathered within the One


                    hanging on that wooden parody


            the knowledge of good and evil


                    regenerated, grafted onto the tree of life
