Splayed out like veins from wrist to hand
like neurons transmitting in the body
or spacetime in the cosmos
An elaborate (sinuous) network, arrangement
from dampened sodden earth
to root to trunk to canopy
The muted sky shines white
through the bored holes in the leaves
they dance ever so slightly
to the rythm of July
And the mangroves below intertwine
like so many fingers
in a connection
nature respite
so divine
Busted Flip Flops 
nice to read your poetry again
