Why Are You Blue

The wayfarer, searching 
for the leaf-pains?
fallen from the lone tree.

Some holy script will 
tell the angst of the sap,
which would not reach the roots.

A responsible weep,
will divulge your name to?
forest bees, waiting for the moon.

I watch the setting sun
with trepidation.
Night will bring again, the blasts.
