They have taken the Sassafras and a squirrel's home with it
The falling limbs slap the dogwood, slam the wild sea oats' thin reeds
I'm so sorry.
It was a danger
Trying to care for my neighbors; the squirrel suffers
Trying to care for the other trees; the dogwood and the sea oats suffer
The canopy parts and I feel exposed
I miss the shadow of her trunk, her verdant crown
I'm so sorry
At least more sun flows in
You don't have to try any more.
True love, innit?
I smell the candle though it isn't lit
Vanilla
Perhaps tonight I'll plant more beebalm
Perhaps I'll drive across the river
I've lariope to deliver
My heart broke too
I was thinking of you the whole time.
