drawing trees
trees are ridiculously difficult to draw
the one in front of me is a bipolar walnut
her limbs go up, down, over, under, around
they are gnarly and crude but also straight
she is a skeleton of herself in October
tens of thousands of her leaves are missing
I marvel at her haphazardness
her remaining leaves seem to mock me
bet you cannot draw us either, they say
they are not wrong
