Bottled Trees

Match the heritage
to the disease,
And
We'll all see a translucent tree
Out of surprising bottles

It’s all the mistakes,
That seem to illuminate the leaves
Streaming mindlessly with lines
That embodies the stereotype

If I line up
All the left over Christmas lights
Along the branches
Of jagged glass, 
Will my blood shed serenity
And knowledge to the problem?

Each night I paint the roots
Another color,
So I won’t repeat,
The artistry of concern
