Companions,
Partners in greenery
Gone
Pronounced guilty in the first degree
The claw comes down
Judge jury executioner
Willow willow has wept its last
Not diseased, not yet,
Nor dead, nor rotted
Nor in the way
But for laziness and lack of
Skill Imagination Patience
Ancient growth, beauty
Meaning
Nothing
Willow willow has wept its last
Uprooted by a man sittin’ on his ass
Grasped in the claw
Uprooted and shaken to death
To break its neck
Willow willow has wept its last
Companions gone
Willow gone
Leaving mud clay rocks dirt
Severed roots
Scorched earth sans the burn
Make way willow for monolith box
Designer bushes, the perfect lawn
Willow willow willow
Gone
