Tree of Hearts | 2010
In the summer of 2010 I wrote a series of short poems which I compiled into a Visual Sketchbook. This is Entry #12
This enormous tree
has as a massive trunk
and branches just
as tremendous,
its leaves match its
imposing stature:
large, thick,
and verdantly green
but more interestingly,
these leaves are
heart-shaped,
perfectly curved
and beautifully designed
in such a way that
when autumn arrives
the tree begins
to cover the bare ground
with withering remains of
brown hearts.
