Trees




Trees

You stripped the branches of their leaves
and thought about
how empty they seemed.

You sawed the branches from the trunk
and wondered
where the shade went.

You cut down the trunk
and wondered
where you would climb.

You pulled the stump from the ground
and wondered
where you would sit.

You looked around
and wondered,
what's next?
