I love most in myself
the things that have been crippled for years
the way I adore the twisted branch
on the maple tree outside my house
that does not leaf out until late in spring
and is the first to drop leaves in the fall
the twisted branch that I hold my breath for
every year hoping I will not need to cut it down
and it has never disappointed me
although it has frightened me
I love most in myself the twisted things
that recall their purpose at opportune times
when the way is risky
and there’s no turning back
I love these old tools
that sit in my hand so well
like a secret in the lines of my palm
or the secrets in another’s hand

This is absolutely awesome Tony. I really like the imagery of the branch. It reminds me of the tree outside my grandma’s house growing up.

Yes, that is the flavor, but with a touch of the struggle that twists the trunk renders it beautiful. I like it.

Thank you.
I’ve been feeling good lately, and I’m always amazed at the capacity of the human soul to regenerate.
