Meandering

Hermann Hesse recommends learning to listen the breathing
of trees. In between poems translated and perhaps written
too literally, his mountain wandering is narrated deprecation
to bind the reader and the writer to the self that sits inside
the chest while the beating world bears down its lightning,
expectations, and storms. Prose is this man's domain, and 
I wonder how that must feel. I hope my fragment stream
might yet be a river of sense.
