Little Tree Lost

Oh how I love a tree; any tree, anywhere: longtime triple-trunked royal trees; redwoods giant, gallant rising, heavenly; trees, tall and slender, so tall you can’t catch them; short trees eye to eye with me and so we talk squirrel talk. I have a tree inside about 18” high; he lives on my corian counter; when he hears the wind, and takes a look outside he sees his cousins swaying cries a tear and softly sighs. ©Kathryn M.
