A poem from a black-and-white photograph. Photographer: Seng P. Merrill.
Bending tree
It boughs
over a road
In poignant
prayer,
Hands reaching
out
An unfeathering
Of aged
leaves
On quiet
air
Haunting
its shadow
Scuttling
below.
It seeks
to run
This heady
mass,
Hair cascading
Like water
sliding
A natural
arch,
Catching
light,
Leaves yawning
wide.
