Drooping She-oak

by

drooping
limbs flailing
she-died — not quickly

deceased she-oak
I felt a sadness in me when I encountered the remains of this magnificent she-oak embedded in the sand with her limbs flailing to the incoming tide. Her roots and foundations rudely stuck up out the ground, I didn’t photo her bottom.
Sharing stories of real people, everyday magic, and the places I held my breath as a child.
