Trees, dead and dying in Michigan

Trees, dead and dying in Michigan

By merdyd

 

Highwayscapes sprouting

acres of aching,

skyward reaching, skeletal arms

 

countless bare,

beseeching wooden fingers,

pleading futile prayer

 

trees, dead and dying in Michigan,

against the summer sky

 

the gods of acid rain

laugh in derision
