space to mourn the trees
mourn the trees,
olives of ripe fruit and sturdy wood,
snapped from the roots,
mass-buried in mud
just the unjust mountains abound:
stuffed with the snuffed,
smoldering with the mouldering
arboreal grief
unfound in those mounds,
sweet fruit that will never know
the touch of tongues
