Ancient Language by Hannah Stephenson 

If you stand at the edge of the forest
and stare into it 
every tree at the edge will blow a little extra 
oxygen toward you 

It has been proven 
leaves have admitted it. 

The pines I have known 
have been especially candid 

One said 
that all breath in this world 
is roped together.

that breathing 
is the most ancient language.
