walking
rhythm of footsteps
(hungry for the rain)
i wait.
i wait for the approaching doom,
for
the inevitable cessation
of life
as (the mockingbirds) know it...
they
swoop and dive,
laugh
at us
divining plans (for futures) from our trees
and
i listen.
i listen to the branches
hum and sway,
knocking out sunlight
and
spreading (gnarly) old branches
toward
the grass,
and
i think (i think) about the day
the
tree will fall...
