Weakened
When the workmen descended
upon the spruce and pine
to protect the electric
pylons they cut a gateway
dissecting the forest,
a slice that severed ancient
limbs leaving a corridor
of sanitised destruction.
When the storm descended
to the loch and through the glen
it shook the doors centuries old
and rattled the roots of noble
firs and toppled sycamores,
a swathe that ripped ancient
limbs leaving a corridor
of natural destruction.
Now I clamber fallen
oak where we once laughed.
