today, I saw a tree
shatter.
we slung the noose around it's neck
as gently as you please,
and after a gouge or two,
pulled it to the ground.
the thwack was tremendous.
each bough shuddered with the rebound,
and the smaller branches broke
scattering like birds
into the clean blue air.
the tree was as old as I am.
