Encroaching Wisteria

Wisteria winding along its trunk, weaving a way to the sun — squinting with anticipation. The tree wrapped tight — squeezed with a wisteria boa. His only escape is to embrace the sun. Onlookers comment at the beauty of his arthritic knuckles and knotty trunk. The ancient tree barely breathes, as gathering kith and kin think him wise, before he turns to dust. 9/24/2019

Now this was deep, this wonderful piece of writing creates thoughts in my mind and brings a picture of time passing slowly as those vine continue to creep ever closer to the end. Beautifully done Kim.
