I saw a
tree
I was
like a child
staring at a
very old
person
trying to
see a face
but lost in
its craters
and trenches
looking for
a neck
that was not
there
the head
attached
to what was
left of
shoulders
searching for
a body
arms and legs
were almost
missing
with traces
showing
three thousand
years
on earth
I didn't recognize
you
tree
