Deciduous

By Laura McCollough Moss

Hey tree

I like the way you look

rubber stamped black

against a celophane sky

fine black limbs

big leafy branches below

tiny ones reaching heavenward

You are there

all day

while I am working

swaying in the sun

sheltering birds

looking beautiful

I just want to

lie here

smell the warm

fruity

dryer vent

clean clothes tomorrow

All is perfect
