burned a tree from the roots up
not because it deserved it
I don't know which place its
soul was sent
but because it died politely, intact
and the scavengers were too respectful
to do much of anything
about that
this being the case
better to go all at once, I said
no hacking of limbs
no embalming fungal blooms
(not everything needs to be paragraphed)
just erasure of continuous capillaries
tip to tip
