Laced between two
Towering chestnuts
A lone cloth sways
In the breeze

An old man approaches
Fascinated by this haven
Harbored in the trees
Seemingly suspended in midair

He touches the soft weave
Halting its tireless exchange
Taking a step back
To ponder this canvas

Gently placing his body
Into the cradling cocoon
An old man sways
In the breeze
