elibats

moss cushions the toes of
the wealthy Beech family
who sway, wavering solidly
leaves scattered at their feet
like money carelessly spent

needles
thirsty for chlorophyll
collapse in orange-brown agony
begging the ever-wealthies
for a fix of green

I like the metaphor here. Strong, if not new, and gives pause for thought.

I second that. This piece has rich imagery, but it is parred down. So it makes it easier to read into the complex nature...which I'm still trying to figure out, actually...so that means this must be good.
