Autumn Tree

(Feb. 28, 2009)

Remember, remember oh tired November

Though all leaves have gone, hold fast to

The roots of the bark, and carve a hook

to tie with knots of promises, a Lender.

Its unending legs travel far beneath

the coiled thorns of weeds' teeth

And surpasses solid concrete

to ground its stand just to

withhold the weather.

The tree, so bold,

and yet fragile,

tells stories

untold.
