A Standing Corpse Under the seething heat of the sunlight A juniper stands on a dry hill Like so many surrounding him He was burned to death by a wildfire His twisted branches are smoky white Still reaching for all the heavens In botanical rigor mortis Commemorating desperation He is a skeleton of a tree A standing corpse in desert sunlight Never to drink another raindrop As dry as the earth that holds his roots I step closer to this juniper Small clouds of dustkicked up by my feet I gently touch his bark and wonder How long until his form breaks apart copyright © Nathaniel FlyingOwl all rights reserved
