driving through the pebbles of rain
hurled from the raging sky,
a tree stands illuminated by the
electricity
in the air--
the silhouette folds into itself,
the branches bent
like the posture of an old man
who has borne the heft of loneliness
for far too many years.
and, in a moment the length of a bee's stinger,
it vanished again--
melting into the surrounding expanse
of darkness.
