A hundred years or more, she's bent her crown

in storm, in sun, in moonsplashed midnight breeze.

surviving all the random vagaries of this harsh world.

A dense - twigged veil drifts down

from crown along her trunk - mourning slow wood

that rustles tattered, in a hint of wind

this January dusk, cloudy, purpling

the ground with sudden shadows.
