The Breath of a Tree

The Breath of a Tree

I am a breath, the breath, breathe and find me within,
lungs and loam, the space between your skin and my scent
is infinitesimal  but never quite zero, always at the verge,
a verge, merging with the attempt of becoming infinite.

Far but never reaching, near but always releasing: being 
a breathe, the breath, breathe and find me within, 
leaves and tinkles, the space between your movement 
and my impermanence is immeasurable but always near 
a finite fate, always at the verge, a verge, colliding 
as an attempt to understand the infinite, always being
but never beyond a breath, the breath, breathe and find 
yourself as a breath, breathing the breath you find 
me being, being your breath as you breathe.
To clarify, the phrase “being a breathe” has a certain purpose. As we know, breath is a noun and breathe is a verb, but the verb “to breathe” is used in this phrase as an infinitive. Therefore, I am saying being a breathe rather than a breath, as in Spanish I could say, “ser un respirar” rather than “ser un respiro”.
