Accessory To Murder

Since the terrible cold fell upon the spring tree,
it has yet to bloom another petal.
The insolent and disobedient being is an internal creature,
its bark solidified, and petrified against all odds.

Before, the branches snapped and piled under
effortlessly with the snap of a finger.
Now, it seems to have held on in fear
of losing more than a limb.

where no man cannot hear.
