STORM

H. D. · 1916

You crash over the trees,

you crack the live branch--

the branch is white,

the green crushed,

each leaf is rent like split wood.

 

You burden the trees

with black drops,

you swirl and crash--

you have broken off a weighted leaf

in the wind,

it is hurled out,

whirls up and sinks,

a green stone.
