Breathing is the most ancient language

Let the trees blow a little oxygen toward you

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
