Drooping She-oak

, ,
deceased she-oak

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.
