Tears On Bone

Tears trickle 
from the branch 
to the ground
digesting 
my love by the pound
leaves of sorrow 
browsing at the sky 
sad songs,  stilled!
mourning the last 
of autumns lullaby 

I,
a lonely tree 
bending at the 
elbow and the knee 
bending in the naked  breeze 
crying at reflections 
only she could see,
naked and alone 
the grey cast sky 
is still as lonely as
tears on bone
