on gravel
heaving sigh
from its tree
lost child
reddened dream
floating
till a rake
grates its skin
piles of cousins
neighbors
strangers
burst in flames
silent ashes
seed the snow
coming soon
coming down
dusting the tears
left on the tree
stripped down
naked
awaiting spring
beyond gray
dreary
morbid
stinging memory
yearning
blended
agony
