In The Desert by David Francis
In the Desert
little pine struggling
with its baby arms
to tie itself to
the hitching post
and not be blown
so hard by the
wind
a tall pole
with a feeder
tilts
in the distance
gray mountains
it didn’t take
root
but was planted,
the little pine
O wind that causes
hallucinations
at least
give it the dignity
of a horse!
