- Bare Tree
-
- The tree was bare except for a
nest.
- The sky around it was dark.
-
- A breeze pushed away any
warmth
- from the scene that was wintery
stark.
-
- A cowboy inside a line shack sat
cold
- then lit a match with a
spark.
-
- The barren tree was outside his
window
- gently held, in the candle lights
arc.
-
- He watched the nest and
remembered
- the sound of a meadowlark.
-
- Then he slept with his blankets
drawn close
- and dreamed of birds in a
park.
