roots and branches


chain chews bark like butter
this tree will come
down
trunk
by
trunk

six large fingers growing from base
each one with myriad branches thrusting
out

many dead sticks
ready to burn it

just outgrew our yard
leaves blocking light
roots sucking water

look at ground and imagine
system of roots singing down
and out
stabilizing
steadying
feeding
supporting  
canopy of green
towering
shading
protecting
cooling
who am I to cut it
down
