The mortality rate for trees in this forest is high
Wind tumbled trees crisscross the living
Or wait patiently at impossible angles for supporters to fold
While others slip into watery rest, undercut by current events
Wind tumbled trees crisscross the living
Everywhere in this forest a feast continues to be served
While others slip into watery rest, undercut by current events
Trees providing the main course or serving up appetizers
Everywhere in this forest a feast continues to be served
Giants brought low by the lowly practicing edible irony
Trees providing the main course or serving up appetizers
Sustainable gluttony on a grand scale
Giants brought low by the lowly practicing edible irony
Growth becomes a seamless death that provides an active rest
Sustainable gluttony on a grand scale
As each particle transcends itself in shared sacrifice
