A Tree
I am.
A tree that has branches, which are tough.
Snow is nothing for me to handle.
When someone passes me, they break off an icicle.
And I become less sharp.
My leaves are buried under snow.
So nothing hides me.
Yet…
A dead cat lies below me.
Tangled in my roots.
The ground was hard so they didn’t dig deep.
Leaves and snow become entwined.
To cover him a little more.
I am.
A tree.
A cat is buried beneath me.
Not many people know that.
