po’
tree.

grow
deep.

to the earth’s ends.

don’t
weep.

po’
tree.

as winter begins.

alone
and free.

po’
tree.

shedding all my skin.

unknown
defeat.

po’
tree.

harvest has to happen.

po’
tree.

throw
leaves.

at your frustration.

po’
tree.

all
journey.

with no destination.

grounded
firmly.

po’
tree.

basking in the sun.

po’
tree.

know
peace.

self-reinvention.

po’
tree.

loads
to release.

expressed regurgitation.

my own
retreat.

po’
tree.

poetry satisfaction.
