Found
melancholy reflection
HANGING FROM HER OWN FAMILY TREE
ROOTED IN THE SOIL OF POISENED ANSCESTORY
STRANGLED AND DANGLED BY THE TWISTED BRANCHES
A HAUNTING SHADOW CAST ACROSS THE WINTER CARPET
SHE CARRIED SEEDS TO OTHER ORCHARDS BUT BORE NO FRUIT
NEVER FITTING SITTING QUITE COMFORTABLY IN ANY FOREST
SHE LET THE WIND BLOW HER FREELY THROUGH ALL SEASONS
NEVER RESTING NESTING IN ANY ONE FIELD
GROWING WEARY OF THE WIND SHE RETURNED TO REST IN HER OWN FAMILY TREE
FINALLY FEELING SAFE IN THAT FAMILIAR PLACE
WHILE IN HER DEEPEST SLEEP SINCE HER FIRST SPRING
BRANCHES GREW AROUND HER IN A WARM FAMILIAR EMBRACE
EUPOHRIA SHE THOUGHT IN HER DELIRIUM
REALIZING TOO LATE WITH PANIC
THIS WAS NO EMBRACE
AND WITH HER LAST BREATH SHE FOUND PEACE IN DEATH.
