Necessary murder
by Joanne Faries
ninety-two feet tall
massive oak tree
shed gnarled limbs
huge suicidal branches
plunged
through the roof
family reclined on the couch
clicked between football
and Discovery
reality lumberjack show
oak shadow loomed
until slain by an arborist
firewood stacked
by back door
That is a cool poem! Poor tree!
