Death of the trees. But then, that's progress . . . isn't it?

Tall upside-down whiskbrooms

All a‑scatter

Stand proudly whispering the secret of the woodlands.

They hear heavy pounding

TO THEIR LEFT. . .

TO THEIR RIGHT. . .

The threatening noise is insistent,

Becoming louder, Louder, LOuder, LOUder, LOUDer, LOUDEr, LOUDER

Until its' arrogance reaches the heavens.

It is their fate.

In farewell, the whiskbrooms stand proud

And, for the last time, they whisper the secret of the woods.

They are accepting.

They will never fight.
