back again

the birch tree in the backyard
was a branchless
skeletal white trunk
just a few short summers ago
written off for dead.

yet here it is!
bursting, re-thriving
green fireworks erupting
wildly resurrected for yet another year
the green fuse of life
re-routes itself
reconfiguring
forging new pathways to the light...

the reports of its demise
were greatly exaggerated
