Po empty soul

Lifeless

Po tree trunk

Branchless

Po thick branch

Leafless

Po tree root

Trunkless

Po ate tree:

Leaves,

branches,

trunk,

a root;

deep down the sea,

tapping eloquence.

From the sea

life flows

through Po empty soul

to the air

mustering souls

lifeless, pleading for breath

Life flows

through Po, a tree to lifeless souls.
