hair-like
roots of string
they had to lie still, to survive
the hope of many
trembling in a tempest
seen from the high branches
little wonders
and hops instead of steps
cuddle close to huddle in the end
a little hide and run for cover
eyes green with the currency of time
delicate limbs in the current
the last moments, a blunt howl
the shattering canopy reveals the burning sun
the rattling leaves
the devastating fear
ripping the seedlings from earth
a coarse malevolence
disgrace of man
tender they seem in this light
the root of the tallest tallow
suffocates the ones in need
and at its most alive
when defending its shade
disgrace in these branches
in the old stoic timber
disgraced by their silence
at the sight of their fallen
the woods at their best
what else did we expect?

For you: you are missed and loved and you will not be forgotten.
