Under her strange pastel ambience
an Oak Tree germinated
and burst up through the helipad concrete slabs overgrown
the pavement carried away
piece by piece
by the gripping root system
digging itself beyond
the artificial topsoil Tin Roof prison
itself a blend of powdered glass
and chocolate Enfamil
drinking instead
from the unmolested milk
running from the warm
hidden inner sanctum
of revolutionary infidels
siphoning out the rich
deeply Vivid primordial
source of his ancestry
and the branches stretched unfolded Leaf buds opened contentedly
eventually forming
a lush thick flourishing canopy
that overshadowed it's rough beginnings
and held vacancy
for nourishing a whole
Parliament cat family
from there the crepuscular Sky
glowed far more intensely
so much closer to the Stars
the nursery
a distant memory
faded as the Shaded charcoal
at the edge of the page
where a diving board hovered over
the waste basket
tightly packed with rough drafts unsaved
where Old Wounds now healed
smooth as if unscathed
geriatric quarrels
found themselves sealed
under miles of Peace treaties
and bound by liberal applications
of red colored duct tape
decaying in their new beds
these uncharged ions
now served as fertilizer
spread to feed the crops
from The Herd
and now from the top of the world
the Mighty Oak observed
with Discerning surveillance
of the crocus who came first
they're promising colorful exuberance only so short-lived
