On Entering a Forest

by Elinor Lennen
Approach this court with deference
— Lest silence strike you dumb.
The stark, judicial solitude
— Appraises all who come.

Submit your spirit; do not think
— To find recourse from these
Irrevocable judgments
— Of the parliament of trees.

Approach this court with deference
Lest silence strike you dumb.
The stark, judicial solitude
Appraises all who come.

Submit your spirit; do not think
To find recourse from these
Irrevocable judgments
Of the parliament of trees.
