If I were a tree
Blooming, blossoming in spring
You would be the axe.
//
Flare in fullness now
Wither me ‘neath cloudless sky
In heat, you are rage.
//
Red cheeks, golden sighs
Tired shade meets stripling sweat
Bitten blade grows dull.
//
If I were a stone
Etched with love and frost, you’d rest
Swaddled in my roots.
