AMONG THE ANCIENT APPLE TREES
Photo by S. Auberle
twisty
insect-ridden
apple tree
lurid limbs
ancient now
doomed
for chainsaw
bent companions
in broken rows
all future mulch
yet...
there is now
this moment
of honeyed air
and pale sun
tugging forth
a few buds
Dylan's green fuse
coursing up
the withered roots
small
redemptions
still unfolding
one petal
at a time...
