The TREE
tree
from head to toe
leafless.
THEY
thwarted her mind
for over five hundred years
and exposes her to crude cruel wind
form …
It’s bark
had been battered
with bullets, swords, alcohol and missals
just to stop her from growing.
The birds in the air
no longer nest on her.
Although it rains
still no green blossom,
her roots had rotten.
This TREE
was once a citadel for all birds
her nest and itinerary stamps are vanishing
as her flutter flank that looks like the
ears of an Elephant had all disappeared.
