Branches

Gold the young moon
above an Andalusian grove.
Love vines bind us
as we share the same wine.

In a sterile Spanish clinic
her cat-scan is read in a dead language.

I keep looking at the stark image,
hoping to see Olive and Date Palms
not these smoldering shadows,
branching through her being,
as if she were a vineyard
on fire.
