Dispatches from the middle of nowhere - Part 2

dragons came & licked 

the landscape black

time made it green again

but not for you

empty-nested

naked witnesses

scorched & black 

oblivious to spring

immersed in green

your charred fingers

stand as reminders

against those

who don’t care

& will never 

see you 

all summer dragons consume

what winter fools neglect

this is no country for old trees
