the Wednesday evening when she ranted

often enough dear, you
callously retort
with razor-like finesse
how trees are supposed to evoke
a certain sturdiness : a prerequisite
to stand their ground.
“this is what makes the forest grand”, you declared.
you forget I am but a shrub
with words, scarce
content with movement
and subtlety
whose only hope is growth.
