Russell Sivey Poet Rispetto

Unprotected Tree

Have you ever been under a tree that rains
No protection from the elements this night
Birds fly all around this monstrous tree of pain
Ravens, crows look for victims, those that won’t fight
Ghosts are said to live inside the tree’s dark limbs
I get wet, fearing birds, watching the ghosts swim
There is no safety under this horrid tree
It’s just not the kind of place I want to be

Russell Sivey
