The two trees are onlookers,
survivors from another age,
before the appearance of houses
with their geometric roofs
which nestle closer
for the day’s gossip.
Depths of sea-color
stare as the Mediterranean
air agitates the cut of defiant sails;
a kingdom of insects and birds
are hidden in the peppered vegetation
sensing the Earth’s secrets
unknown to humankind.
