White oak
Perfect width for climbing
Bark beautiful to see and smell
Burning
Birch tree
Little green and orange kayaks
Bitter in hot water
Dogberries
Poisonous red
Partridge berries
Sour beige tang
Pussy willows
In Lake Melville
Reeds by the river
Undulating in summer winds
Pine trees
Clean green scent of spring
Snowy pit trap of winter
I knew them all
Since I’ve moved to cities
The only plants I know
Are names written in Latin on plastic cards
Thrust in the dirt of pots
