Bleeding wood

Sonia Nkera, November 25, 2021

There’s a tree outside the window where I sit

Magic I did not expect this morning

There’s pine cones in the tree!

What’s exciting about that?

Ask the six year old little girl

The one who went out to sniff the wood after the trees had been cut

Ofcourse she waited after they had taken the chainsaw

It was too loud

The smell of bleeding wood stays with you

But that’s not all she found

There were pine cones

She collected so many some fell on the way home

She was going to make a nest for them

Now I look out at the tree and wonder what became of them

My pine cones
