Hyperion
Coastal red cedars and
heightened sequoias
hyperboles of nature
scholastic and ambiguous
in their format, antithetic and
polysyllabic in their need
to procreate seeds and buds
growing rhythm in the sea’s
glaucous reflection, lean on it
sweet redwood by the shore
these lands where the sun
basks in aloneness
Hyperion one day you will become
