I gaze
through the undergrowth
into deeper woods.
Redwoods rise,
limbs link tree
to brother tree,
climbing high
to the bright
coastal fog.
Walking out
I see the three,
still as lawn ornaments,
frozen in motion,
stunned
by my sudden form.
They stand and gaze
and reassured
by my stasis,
at last with lazy gait
back they move
into the nodding
trees.
