one of my best
The splitting of the marriage tree
leaves limbs of the offspring
holding on

the pain of divorce is
yelling "timber" as we're falling
the cry of a baby bird falling
wildly flapping young wings
at the thought of no safety net

all too soon the forest will be quiet
and winter will descend
upon my family tree.
