an orchard’s lament

 

An Orchard’s Lament  


Morning mist drapes each blossom  

like a bride reluctant to wake.  

Petals fall in silent confession—  

memory’s hush in every drift.  
 

Roots hold secrets of laughter and tears,  

a debt of seasons owed to shadows.  

Soon, steel will bite bark and bloom  

and these ghosts will scatter on the wind.
