Giant

a giant that feels as if
it's been graveled as i
run my fingertips around it;

a giant that makes me
relaxed because
it smells of sweet maple;

a giant that stays
in one place but sways
and swishes in the wind;

a giant with needles
as hair, green and stiff as
they poke and prick my fingers

a giant that stands
straight up in place
with many that surround
