The Family Tree.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

The Family Tree....



as predicted
the dragon came
breathed fire
killing some of
our forefathers,

my father slayed
it, and i was born,

from the body of that
rotten dragon
grows a tree where
in all those leaves
names are
written

as the leaves on
autumn begin to fall
the winds
come singing

a mournful song
a song for heroes

and children look
beyond the glass windows
on cold
afternoons....
