The breaking,
of that, final branch.

That, unmistaken,
crunching, chance.

The twist,
that teased,
the gritted crush…

…of bitter unease.

Blood, like, sap, aching,
pouring out, unstanched.

The forgotten cut, forsaken…

…of rotten, felled circumstance.

Feels, as though, inhumane, is everlasting.

To heal and grow…

…after falling, from a baned tree, ungrasping…

…is the toughest ask in life’s chase romance.
