What if I could paint the city
in cheerful colours, plant trees
as tall as skyscrapers, have concrete
foundations intertwined with roots,
have leaves be a canopy against the bright sun
and give shelter to millions of birds.
You ask why I live
alone in the birch forest,
and I smile and am silent
until even my soul grows quiet...
