Two Trees
Longleaf pine stands tall and plenty
Juniper wears a crooked truth
Unbendingly plumb
Each knot a story of surviving
Birthing needles and cones into wiregrass whispers
Bitter berries calling curve-billed thrashers
Sawmills hunger for a perfect yield
Remedies grow silently inside a gnarled shield
