“Tree Between Two Countries”

Great-horned owl flew east over

a craggy coastline, every night

passed through different

phases of the moons,

soared within range of a fig tree

that teetered on the edge of a

multi-layered, sandstone cliff-face,

battered by angry waves and sea foam,

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vnF47axWm

hugged the precipice with coils

of roots half-buried, half-revealed

crescendoed in and out of the stonework

like a lattice of waves.

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOhulT6h0R

Myriad of creatures housed

within moist, fertile

underbrush; thick, cobwebbed

branches twisted eternally toward the

sunlight; disfigured ladder stretched,

its limbs hide several hundred

miles above in a thick cloud

of impenetrable vapors

where fly and roost the most mysterious

avians never glimpsed by mortal eyes.

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSdzIoCmr4

Plethora of flora furled

around the trunk, bundles of

grapevines grew unimpeded

in patches of royal blue,

clasped stems entwined in

leafy, wooden rivers joined with

the thick, thorny tendrils of a

black rose — over-ripe,

leaning toward the earth.

Locked, oak chest buried within a

hollowed-out shrine beneath the roots,

held a fire stolen back by the gods,

guarded by the watchful eyes of the owl

(with its 360° vision and immense province

of flight, the raptor spies an isle northwest

ordinarily out of sight),

people seeking peace unaware that

their armistice laid top a ridge

left uncharted a few miles out at sea,

proved, instead, that life did not exist

with mathematical and philosophical proofs;

murdered one another for centuries

despite answers hidden poorly

just beyond their field of vision —

kingdom of zealots to the southeast,

across the fig tree’s massive circumference,

orchestrated prayers loudly in droves;

prepared crusaders to invade the forest and

burn sacrificial lambs deep in the

heartwood — scar torn open and

charred.

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk0jWbzFne

Fig tree roots cried salt-water tears,

condensed and splashed on its

dense outer layers, as the owl learns 386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwuG0WXIg

that it can unlock the chest with its beak.
