I wrote these during & after reading the articles posted by Sue.
These ones do relate to each other (obviously!)
I.
tree breaks at base,
falls as one on earth. Drum
shakes floor and heartbeat
II.
ancient tree crashes
silence
then whispered song
tree lies alone
without music
bird
III.
tomorrow his birthday
new trees grow
in the fallen tree's arms
tomorrow he sings
in a new tree's arms
happy bird day
