Unreliable Narrator
A bloggish space. I only post when I feel like it. 

This Tree

Picture
This tree has lost its gravitas.
It leans over the road
  crooked spine, stiffened joints, balding in autumn,
  hornets in its hollowed belly.
It eyes the power line nervously.
 
This tree leans over the road.
Its roots are willing but its trunk is weak.
The ground beneath has its own problems.
