Tree Boy

his body 
is a tree trunk
flowers growing
out of it

he plucks flowers
every night
and destroys them;
destroys himself

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God bless you.
