  1. The Pruner

    The Pruner by kmls
    I spent this day trimming trees.
    I do not like losing the dead in me
    or the shoots that suck the life
    from where the growth should be.

    To succumb to the Pruner
    is not an easy thing.
    Often I find myself resisting
    the gentle hand that only wants
    to make my life more fruit bearing.

    But if I am to grow strong and true,
    I must leave behind the broken yew
    lest I die from a rotten core,
    and the sap, my blood, become a bitter brew.
