Live Encounters Aotearoa New Zealand Poets & Writers April 2023
See the trees, poem by Susan Glamuzina
See the trees
the closer to the forest
the less the edges blur
noise in my head
replayed conversations
memories
what I said wrong
how should I have acted?
clouds my mind
the trees centre me
reminding me to breathe
tree focused breath
the soggy scent
my head rests on the bark
throws a leaf between my hands
inhale
I now see the path because of the trees
