This tree,
sheds her leaves
all at once
day by day
in each fall
she looks
old and tired
her bark
dry and dead
boughs with
leafless
twigs are
wide open
to hold the
coldest  breath
she may named as
'deciduous'
i would rather
represent her
' evergreen'
as she may
birth to millions
as tiny little leaves
a way back to
her youthfulness.
