a hope for another delusion

[skjalff]

i once saw a tree on a town square
still green but ready to blush

its foliage clinging to mother's hands
blissfully unaware that it is going to fly

its bark embracing the slender stem
thick and rugged it counts the rings

its branches reaching for sunlight
are bright with roughened late summer leaves

its roots under the layers of asphalt
try to make me believe that it is all going to last

i laugh at the notion
..but there will be flowers
