Get It? Like "Leaves"? Anyway.

there's this one tree I know

and I'm convinced that if it could

it would tell me what to do next

 

but it communicates like a God

which is to say

it communicates quite poorly

and lets you think it's your fault

 

it tells me about death

then leaves the silence ground

to make it fertile
