Oh Witch Tree

oh witch tree
dear witch tree
I saw you
last year
surrounded by
wildflowers
and haunting
the deer..
your hair
was askew
with rat tails
and wind
your troubled
arms flailing
as though
you were pinned
to the ground
by your skirt
you just
could not move..
I stood there
and watched
things did not
improve
so I left you
alone
as you screamed
and you scared..
all God’s creatures
away
no one
was spared
of your rath
and injustice
all-the-way
down the hill..
I can see you
ranting
and raving there
still..
for reasons
that are not quite
apparent to me
I hope I can
find you
again

The Witch Tree off of Hiway 18 by Waterman Road, on the way to Lake Arrowhead.
Let me know if you find it again...
