Nancy Lubarsky
Tree Drama
There's drama in the trees.
They lean in, gossip in groups,
mourn their fallen families.
Sometimes I'd like to join them,
especially when their conversation
turns to rough skin or bald spots.
I've lost loved ones, too. Imagine
if they could stay close by for
a while, then gradually transform
to the next generation.
