Giants

Big, twisted egos,
slashing down tree after tree;
all humanity.

White bottlebrush

Fists tightly curled up,
babies unravel slowly—
bottlebrushes, too.

Fulfilled

panaromic photo of a swamp cypress bonsai tree, with its name tag saying it was established in 1976

Bonsai shows restraint,

photo of the hot morning sun, glowing from behind wide white clouds

Waiting to burst out:

sun behind the clouds.

Tangled

photo of the trunk and branches of a fig tree

Flexing lean muscles,
attention-seeking fig trees—
