the rough touch of the chainsaw


 an unwitting casualty


the mountain laurel,

who has graced the edge of the creek

at our mountain home for generations, isn't there!

it must have been an unwitting casualty

when they took out a great, troubled red oak,


I find it sad that those with chainsaws

might not have even noticed this casualty

from their battle with the tree.
