Episode description
from my collection 'A Distilled Spirit'
'the tree'
her face was riddled.
dug into her cheek
an empty heart
like lovers carve into a tree.
there were no initials
no dates
just old skin
rough and crumbly like bark.
she stood alone
bowed
an ancient tree in the forest
awaiting a fall
no one would ever hear.
