Graveyard

Burnt almond trunks pierce the sky with bony limbs

Crooked fingers pointing in accusation

Scratching aching woodland cracks in nakedness

Skeletal arms crying in the bend

Shrinking roots beg the soil for moisture declined

Creep not the green life once attending

Earths bed running from chalky roots deathly release

The mountains wash takes life remaining

Thunderous revenge for injustice wrought, the small shoots demise

So they hack the human invasion meant to cure

Orange peel Earth surrounded in charcoals coat thick without air

The page ends, script no more as the paper dies
