Devastation

Topics: classic

Little red berries are     the crop of this stump tree.     They are the prize stubble     where little growth is come.     A transplant of hair after     a serious illness     or after fire ravages     the body's wilderness     is that first sip of broth taken.     Little by little, they bring cautious     hope that more will     stumble into other pocket crevices,     the bits of life amidst the spores of stillness.
