she begins to carve once again
his initial into the centre of the trunk,
standing out against the hues of umber and hickory
piercing the bark as if it were the horizon
on those warm summer twilights when the sun blesses the waves;
a divine intervention against the night.
another "the one" to add to her alphabet of past lovers,
long since faded in the bark,
forgotten as if a distant memory
or, to accompany those scratched out,
those carved by the hands of a stranger
scar tissue in mahogany,
decades spent rebuilding her oak epidermis.
- lovers' tree
