rooted feet
 |
| Great Heron Louisiana by Jeter Skeet |
marshy slippers
knobby knees
like gnarly
arthritic knuckles
branching arms
draped in shawls
of Spanish moss
sturdy trunks
sporting bonnets of
herons, egrets, bald eagles …
grandmother trees
matriarchs in a legendary land
of once upon a time—
before the drilling began.
