Brains

 

 The moon is an exotic fruit sitting

precariously in the clutch of branches;

a forlorn look on its face; lost soul.


Our apple trees have been bare for months;

they spend winter in a mire of despondency,

raking the sky for fugitive fruits.


Buds are fingertips in our garden;

they are ineffectual in an expanding universe;

roots, on the other hand, have the brains for trees.
