Delicate Death


A crabapple tree in my front yard is dying -
The long, slender branches and limbs -
soon devoid of leaves -
create delicate shadows
on the blistering sidewalk
adjacent to the cool green grass -
I will miss it -
I will replace it -
One day, I will be replaced -
But will I be missed?
