Dutch Elm

[Mac]

Sunlight shines through
the sky-blue patch
where the old elm stood.

So easily, the breeze
forgets the leaves
and the distinct rustle.

It’s been one year,
and I can barely remember
the tree, much less the fellow
who cut its skeleton down.

mac,

the trees inspire you,
and you inspire me!

with your ghostly dutch elms
and those lovely woodpath canopies
that kept me from the rain

in open mic! :)




you should see the lovely tricks my cedars are doing!
:)

remarkable how something as unseen (elm disease) can
take down such an old 'soul' of a tree
and how almost as quickly
shapes fade in memory
