Tree alone

Amity Doyle

Has anyone ever wondered whytrees reach out?Oh, the branchesSo lonely that treemust be, alone in themiddle of a honeysuckle fielddappled with nothing but its own leavesLeaves, oh tree’s loves, they leaveas happened to me, as happened to him,reaching out to pull her back, alone.
