THE PAWPAW TREE Outside my window I see a burdened tree with fruity dreams. With a billion places to go yet rooted in one spot. Its pain, its stunted spine. Bent by the weights that alleviate another's pains. I see it's sweat, I see its tears. Sticky white snakes gliding down it's sides. I see the curse of abundance. The tears of the blessed Enveloped in the darkness of isolation. Waiting for the one in the shade to offer a trade of place. Hoping someone would understand. Hoping one would care. Outside my window, I see myself. Maybe in another world. But still, I see a burdened tree with fruity dreams. With a billion places to go yet rooted in one spot. #MA#poetry#review
