the tree

There is a hole in my yard


where a beautiful tree once grew

'til an ill wind tore it up by the root



I've spent much time

at the hole,and lamenting

the fruit that never got to ripen



It is the nature of holes

to slough in over time

leaving only a small

depression

I think I will plant flowers in it.
