'Family Trees, What Are These? ' Poem by james watkin

'Family Trees, What Are These? '



'Family trees, what are these'?
Snapped the clawing wind.
Looking to stretch the savagery
Past this maple thinned.
'Cleaved to mother earth are they
In veils, fashionable'?
No; but in the bygone rooted;
That haze, historical.
Ghosts do roost there; dim birds
With heads, humanly vile...
Boom! It was a paler wind
Fled the scene meanwhile.
