new seeds

here lies a wooden A-frame
built in the snowy forest
double sided with glass so
neighboring aspens can see
humans who live within

trunks nearby are so happy
to have new neighbors
(since this cabin sits where
friends used to be rooted)
two stop by for a visit

the newly appointed hosts
are surprised but quickly
become welcoming
would you like a drink?
water please

looking around, the guests
see familiar knots & twists
in the floor, walls & ceiling
plus a fir smell reminiscent
of those old friends

both enjoyed the evening
wondering as they head home
if others will move in soon
exiting through the garage &
wood shop
