BURIED ALIVE
From the 2016 Collection "Nickels and Dimes"
Trees poke from the earth
like the mummified hands
of the martyrs.
Buried alive,
they strained with last breath
to gesticulate their cause.
Now they are finally hushed
by the whistling of birds,
and the prattle of leaves.
From the 2016 Collection "Nickels and Dimes"
A collection of Juvenilia
