Light Rail Trench
pencil pine   a clutter
of umbrellas  upturned
pressing 
at the sky
for juice  
the energy of blue
 sledded white
  the slide
 of clouds
no derangement
branches
stand  unmoved
the roots that
hold this
mast    vast  towards
the earth calling 
for the fig
the gum  
amid the shudder 
of the build
the railway comes
 
Lovely stuff Kerri - I really enjoyed reading this!
