Pain clustered and bloomed
like spring buds on an oak tree,
in the old way, the ancient trial
of every human who bleeds
but does not die, does not
need a funeral, but forces an
imitation of death, the throes
of winter that ravish no
real tree, but freezes root
systems in the most intimate
way, the only way I can
find my way home to sleep.
