Three Trees


The first is for shade
when the sun beats down.

The second is for shelter
when the rains beat down.

The third is for sanctuary
when the gods beat down.

    [Insert Title Here]

    Only trees take root,
    Squeezing earth of all
    Its minerals,

    Clutching on tight
    So as not to fall into space
    Digging down, remembering.

    A Saipan hat, a purple corona
    Of their leaves, shreds through
    Autumn fog.

    If they mourn, it is for
    Abandoned nests, because now
    The birds are refugees.
