Gray Trees

by | Autumn 2022, Poetry

All    the    gray    trees
Dead		        Deer-
Road		           Kill.
Pop   a    Hyat   in   the
middle! All  the green
Now		         Red-
Now		      Plastic.
But    at   least   there’s
a   new  shake   shack!
No		              reflect-
ion.		       None.
Just  microfibers  just
tainted green suns on 
old		                fields
with		       grass?
Dividing    lines     on
black billboard  skies.
Buy		            me
buy		         faith-
and   save    all   those
who   refuse   to  wait
for		                  filth-
for		                  gray.
Know  the   lane  ends
here   cause    big   big
cars		       crash-
body,		          last-
now   grip-latch  onto
lash   after   lash   after
lash		          after
lash		          after
lash   after   lash   after
lash   after   lash   after
lash		          after
lash		          after
after lash after lash on
Mother Nature’s back.
