Willow Tree

by Annie Faux-Pas

Catch a weeping willow laughing

It's sneer insincere

& hitch a ride from the core of an apple

As it falls to the ground.

 

You see

That dress you made

You never made it for me

But it fits nicely.

 

I scream to the angel of life and death

You must have made a mistake

You know you did.

 

And when I dug up the bird I'd burried long ago

It's heart was in a different box.

 

I see

The mess I made

Never thought you would leave.

What will be will be.

 

When will it feel better.

 

Will it

Make me feel better.

Like when I could sit beneath the willow tree.
