O
but then she shook the tree
the first fruits to fall were not his best
so quickly they betrayed the depth of his roots
did he forget the weight of his words
did he forget that they should grow slowly
did he fail to show her
that he kept his most sacred fruit for her
hidden among his branches
could she not see the hard beauty
at the places where his limbs had been cut
would she leave him there alone to spoil
unable to chase her
and only gaze towards the bramble
the last place the light touches
