May 22nd

 

Acorn rain takes root

The old oak’s fey children dig

fated to perish

We felt guilty plucking this youthful oak from the earth. It’s so beautiful and virile, even when so tiny. The leaves are so defined. Clearly an oak. But it would smother the garden, shunt the house foundations, before itself would succumb to its massive parent.
