Thank you trees

I feel excited again
As I look outside
At the trees
There are trees
Standing out there
Just being trees
And I can see them
In the light
From our neighbor’s back porch
They are themselves
And I am myself
But we are somehow together
As I stand in my underwear
Checking the back door
To make sure it’s locked
And they stand in the yard
Wet from the day’s rain
Waiting in the night
Waiting
So that I could see them
And feel excited again
Thank you trees
Thank you world
Goodnight
