On the ReclineMary
On the Recline
What remains of a tree that once stood proudly
now reclines in my garden, charred,
it's black and gray trunk a background for dianthus.
Behind, the rails, once trees themselves,
recline between posts mutually supporting one another.
Dogwood with small red twigs,
someday to be an anchor for this garden corner,
grows slowly, not anticipating...
just being content with the present.
