[hometext] => The title says it all...
[bodytext] => A clump of mold coated and strangled A sick spruce, warped and mangled It, making it look like the crumbling dead. The tree bent and the tarry sap it bled Curbed the illness that was smeared Over its surface. The victim neared The ground as it leaned over, And you could see the specter of death hover, Waiting to pacify to tortured, resilient tree Whose roots calcified it with the limestone underneath The layers of dirt and water and compost. Atop this crippled tree, and almost Fifty feet away, I could see the everbrown Turn evergreen, as I reached the crown That had resisted an epoch of advances By death and mold and somehow dances On, forever in avoidance in its pretty quarantine.
