The forest after the snowfall

JK Miller

the oak trees

young soldiers

naked

their bodies

white painted

by the slapping

they received

last night

trembling surround

the old, crazy sycamore

still in his battle stance

threatening to send

Zeus rays

out from his branches

and start a bonfire

wherever.
