November 22, 2010
the shadows of the tree’s hands
stretch out across the blazing sand.
blocking the sunlight
from my face
and my cheerful attitude
displaced.
hiking through
this desert now
I have often
wondered how
all life here
does not burn away.
this ancient tree,
a shriveled oak,
is all that’s left
of an ocean of trees.
I stand in a graveyard of leaves.
