Between Metal And Earth - Patricia Cannon

At the edge of a shallow stream,

willow trees struggle inside the

metallic shell of an old abandoned

car. Their splintered and moss-

speckled bodies push through that

space between metal and earth

while their arms of bark twist

and break under a yellow eye.
