A few yards away from my bedside window

There’s a tree with a divided trunk

An elliptical peninsula amidst the pacasandra

 

There’s a spot on the tree like Jupiter’s storm

Where my brother says lightening struck

And spat out the thin, flowering branchlettes

That hang out in spindles

 

This stricken branch divides again

A few yards higher

And from each subset magnolias like cumulous

Clouds of magenta and white

Assert their right to the sky

Over neighboring branches and telephone wires

 

And peeking through the blinds I once again see Bennett

Beside the tree

Marveling at the scene of disaster

Where implausible beauty now springs

Forth from this elliptical peninsula

Amidst the pacasandra

He gives me something to grow into.
