Forest Flakes

Peel the bark and let it fall
Let it scatter off the trees
Peel it slowly from your door

Peel onto the forest floor
The forest flakes they glisten here
Snaps of maple scratch the ground
Crusted apples rot and smear
Stain the surface of the woods
Musty tree bark chips and flakes

A jigsaw wanting to be solved

Pieces press to be dissolved

Into larger forest flakes
