trees

there are bones standing,



across the street



they have arms and legs;



their faces are twisted



and dark. snow



covers them



like a silk sheet, a veil



on the face of



an old witch.





they hold each others hands



and swim in deep



mourning.





their hands are in the air,



crying to the gods



wanting, needing



screaming for freedom,



"let me out of



this cage so



i can live my life



not stuck



in a pile of dirt."



they all scream and then



in a 100 years or so



they die still stuck



next to all their friends,



their hands



still in the air.
