Why the Willow Weeps
January 5, 2011
A bizarre, weary tree rooted itself upon the hilltop.
Her trunk leaned as she bore Atlas’ burden.
Her branches bowed before
the Sun and Moon as
Her long leaves wept for
Mankind.
Only when we lower our blades
from each others’ throats,
Will her stiff bark
Straighten
Itself out.
