Silent sentinels

Shed sound-deadening fascicles

I gather tinder

I love this! Alliteration is my favorite. Plus the ssss just gives that secret, suspicious tone to the poem. 🖤

Evergreen arbor–

A fair forest of needles

Wrapped in flaky bark.

Wind roars through branches,

Under heavy myrrh-hung boughs -

No one hears my scream.
