had to look up Bradfordsmodified species deemed invasive, useless, and undesirable
twinned bradfords, 40-years old or so
stand quiet in the top front yard
toes dug deep in its gentle slope
the start of a sharper descent
their fellow trees naked
but for the odd tattered leaf
though evergreens boast silently
of countless verdant needles
it rained last night
not heavy, just enough
to lay the dust—temporary respite
grey skies blue to a peek-a-boo sun
greens are greener for the watering
and the bradfords sport
cherry reds and amber-fire
flimsier than their summer garb
in spring their pale fresh sprouts
prelude snowy, bridal whites
short-lived, frothy abundance
delicately brash show-stoppers
when winter's precipitation sits
on bare, generously spreading limbs
they only enhance the moonlight
and glisten frosty as stars
invasive aliens? we've still only two
undesirable? i can't agree
useless? living art can't name a price
but bring priceless joy, regardless
Missed opportunity:Sitting on my bike
looking at the stars
wondering how
you are going;
knowing one day
I will join you
had to look up Bradfords
Small fruitI think it's a pear tree or something.
