MOUNTAIN ELM

Spring thunderstorm

roughly shakes the mountain elm

Spring thunderstorm

violently jolts my heart

Proud, erect and haughty,

brown leaves blow in mountain wilds,

tinged with earth’s love, melancholy,

roots clutch rock and mud,

happiness, solemnity,

a friend of sunlight and mist,

borrows words from the wind, occasionally,

unscrolls anguish in the wilds

suffers stinging cold, flailing rain,

sighs, awaits the thunderclap,

and the cruel ax:

chock, chock.
