Swamped in Cypress
today is brought to you from a favoured wetland, though
it's an older image, but a little alternate, and it has a thick trunk.

Twin Thick Trunks
Our summer season's
coastal tree.
They're solid, and they aerial root to a considerable complexity.
Self woven and entwined.

Triple Thick Trunks
a trilogy of Tōtara, tales
of rural and remote fables.
Of farmlands with
fields walkable,
and, others so steep
across valleys deep.

In the beginning,
there were so many birds
and a few animals.
I watched people first
arrive in this country
It's changed somewhat
over a thousand years or so.

Thank you @TrishaNicholson and @PouwelsDel, appreciated.
These olde characters are magnificent, as you say, and there's their lifetime's worth of stories untold.
