Like the Empire of Rome
the dogwood
that thought it was an oak
has fallen.
It lays sideways to reality,
its cold roots
cling on for grim death,
the vainest hope of survival
is indeed vain.
Its assassins laugh
as the death knell rings.
Like the Empire of Rome
the dogwood
that thought it was an oak
has fallen.
