Prickly needles,
green body thick and dry
rooted in sand and rubble.
A lonely hawk circles above,
enticed by a scampering
shadow, he descends,
perching atop the
prickly needles.

She claws her way out
of hell, Cerberus howling
breeze warms frigid air
Young buds stretch for blossoming
birds fluttering in the trees
Prickly needles,
green body thick and dry
rooted in sand and rubble.
