“Tree Between Two Countries”

Great-horned owl flew east over

a craggy coastline, every night

passed through different

phases of the moons,

soared within range of a fig tree

that teetered on the edge of a

multi-layered, sandstone cliff-face,

battered by angry waves and sea foam,

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRAWyrE8ca

hugged the precipice with coils

of roots half-buried, half-revealed

crescendoed in and out of the stonework

like a lattice of waves.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXvDDoJPBy

Myriad of creatures housed

within moist, fertile

underbrush; thick, cobwebbed

branches twisted eternally toward the

sunlight; disfigured ladder stretched,

its limbs hide several hundred

miles above in a thick cloud

of impenetrable vapors

where fly and roost the most mysterious

avians never glimpsed by mortal eyes.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1DDkpnJOt

Plethora of flora furled

around the trunk, bundles of

grapevines grew unimpeded

in patches of royal blue,

clasped stems entwined in

leafy, wooden rivers joined with

the thick, thorny tendrils of a

black rose — over-ripe,

leaning toward the earth.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZibjRvHtZ

Locked, oak chest buried within a

hollowed-out shrine beneath the roots,

held a fire stolen back by the gods,

guarded by the watchful eyes of the owl

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeh2hZGfEj

(with its 360° vision and immense province

of flight, the raptor spies an isle northwest

ordinarily out of sight),

people seeking peace unaware that

their armistice laid top a ridge

left uncharted a few miles out at sea,

proved, instead, that life did not exist

with mathematical and philosophical proofs;

murdered one another for centuries

despite answers hidden poorly

just beyond their field of vision —

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAQ1Up5gIl

kingdom of zealots to the southeast,

across the fig tree’s massive circumference,

orchestrated prayers loudly in droves;

prepared crusaders to invade the forest and

burn sacrificial lambs deep in the

heartwood — scar torn open and

charred.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESXk7cIvIL

Fig tree roots cried salt-water tears,

condensed and splashed on its

dense outer layers, as the owl learns 465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgxq1qSWSY

that it can unlock the chest with its beak.
