What Lives, Dies


What lives, dies.
Two ends of the same branch.
One is a root. One is a limb.

Beyond living and dying
lies treeless ground.

TREELESS GROUND

Incendiary divorce
Turns into burn lines.
Where once a forest of pines
Needled the aloe,
Now ashes baste in the heat
As flood plains level the town.
