Words on the breeze


Sharp wind in the olives
that line Avenue H.

Do they catch
my whispered dreams?

The ones I send
up into the blue

to ride
the feathered clouds.

No one to harvest
the fruits these days

and their days
grow fewer,

the chain saws'
hungry maws await.

When the olives trees
are gone,

where will the branch
that offers peace be found?
