Cutting Temples
Vaulted trees,
A Cathedral over my head,
Its branches, flying buttresses,
Protect me.
Grey, crumbling bark
And hundreds of rings and branches,
Seemingly thousands of feet above my reverent head,
Tell the tale of time
And the time for all things to end.
The execution commences,
The age, old Cathedral crashes around my feet.
