The Shade of the Perishing Tree by Luke Purbrick Every rose bears the weight of the perishing tree, Every rose wears the mould of the shade Every rose loses the gardener as the tree grows soft Every rose sees us as saints, loose in the gardener's green. We nourish the ground under the perishing tree And the sour apples congregate in graceful communion; crumbles. The tree dances with the spheres As the gardener holds her breath with the pansies.
