Uprooted tree from Storm Sandy (Photo credit: Arlington County)
Trunk ripped by its roots
flipped like the white of an egg
We crouch together.
*****
Once felt as sturdy
the tree weeps its bitter tears
and says I’m sorry
*****
Our small family
I brought you into this world
and helped you to grow.
*****
Like lovers soft limbs
branches intertwine with grace
Natural beauty.
