Bark
Bark on the tree
Smooth grey surface
with dark stripes
like zebra.
Grey, green and yellow
with many deep wrinkles
of an old man.
There is a stump
unevenly cut
when they took
a young tree down.
Why?
Naked branches
are reaching
to the wintry sky.
Trees are sleeping,
saving a sap inside
for the Spring to come.
Canadian geese
are feasting
on the green grass.
