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
