Hi, Kimbra! excellent verses, love and death...

"Could it gather all the men and women who hung from trees like these?

Could it ease the sting of death

and grace their wounds with stillness?"

Those verses in particular leave a bittersweet lump in the throat... My respects to you.

This came up right when I parked the car: exactly when I need it. My head is full of the tales that the trees are telling. Feel like I'm in the Game of Thrones
