A Hollowed Out Tree

Living inside the base of a hollowed out tree

  since childhood, my dreams have been formed

 

Living inside a space where the walls almost touched

  kept me hidden, protected, and warm

 

Living inside a place that no others could see

  beyond privacy, I became lost in myself

 

Living inside the base of a hollowed out tree

  —where boyhood memories and wishes still dwell
