Ghostly, slender trees
sprawling across the blue skies
like varicose veins.
Twisted
Natural succession
With a trim, fit sheen,
paving a path to progress—
trees changing seasons.
Unwanted
Scarred, marred, and thorny
relationships;Â cast aside,
felled trees on sidewalks.
Family
Wintry sun, the son,
radiating defiance,
against trees, parents.
The elders
Shrivelling over time,
crippling under the world’s weight—
the ageing, the tree.
