Glass TreesA Poem by Alene Parr
Wipe your eyes
Your open-wide disguise. You don't fool anyone. You're lost. You don't know where you're going, And it's showing. You hide among Glass trees And we can See you. We can see you. And they will crack. Yes, they will break. Shatter like the sun is an axe. And their twisted roots Will Come loose From the earth But you Can't hide behind those either. Tear your own from the dirt And brush them off. They're still useful, Even after you've buried them. © 2015 Alene Parr |
