Oak Tree Poem

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
