Elms in Winter

ELMS IN WINTER

Thomas Wolfe said we—
We can never go home again
Time is a river

I came back because—
Emporia just wouldn’t 
Couldn't seem to go away

The stark naked Elms—
Those cold winter days
Stark, bleak just like death

The elm’s loneliness—
Solitary and alone
No different than me
