Unrequited Once there was a tortoise (A stalwart, honest beast, but not too bright) That loved a rock, and mounted it each night; The rock behaved as rocks are apt to do, And whether or not the tortoise ever knew The error of his ways, one thing is true : Rocks are only fossilized dirt, And it’s doubtful if anyone’s feelings were hurt. Insecurity I wanted her But wasn’t sure she wanted me; So I strangled her And hid her in a hollow tree, Under my winter cache of acorns, Thought she was safe, But on the subsequent morn, I learned that she had Run off with a necrophile, And a gang of squirrels Had eaten up my acorn pile; The tree’s gone too, Nothing to do. World Tree Breath of the forest Destitute at the edge of the world, A murmur of passing sorrow Stirring the bare branches, Displacing the crows, Rasping against the falling rain, Clustering upon an ancient, moss-grown tree, Hollow and rotten, but living still— A mockery of life.
