PARAPHRASING The tree which untangles at the far end of the noisy meadow - the person is only genuine when they are away from other people. stands apart from evening, does not own itself.- the person doesnt own who they are in the daylight, only who they truly are at night, away from other people.

Birds come to it and go- Friends come and go to it, because it is like another- because the person is fake during daylight, because they are like others. -since the others act like that too.

Free of the sun- when it is no longer daytime which is said to tangle other branches- which muddles/stifles other peoples personalities it is free of the gossip of likenesses,- the trees are free of the fakeness; gossip; and drama, the alikeness that they are influenced to try and maintain. and the stars do not sit in it.- they are no longer influenced by the celebrities, etc.

The fruit of this tree, if it has any, -The uniqueness of the tree, if it has any is not seen in the unaided light,- Is not seen/ appeciated without the help of others. and the eye which sees it loses need of mirrors,- The people who do notice, lose the need of other help (mirrors make things obvious) becomes the eye-shaped slit, in the mask- The other(s) help the person to realize that their personality is what makes them unique, which an animal that comes out now to hunt for sustenance is.-The person then becomes them-self and goes out to find purpose.
