branches

It was there
With the pretty earth
Trees everywhere
Branches and boughs spread out over something
Over what?

So many branches
Snow
Snow keeps falling on the branches
And I am waiting
Why am I waiting?
Am I waiting for you?
Why am I waiting for you?

Branches under the snow
Hiding something
Or burying
Burying something
Or sheltering
Sheltering something
someone
Me?

I am still waiting for you
Green pine boughs
Dead oak
Was someone trying to build something?
Was I trying to build something?

I am still waiting

What was I trying to build?
Why was I waiting for you?
Why didn’t you come?
Didn't I want you there?

Black branches
Slicked with ice
Dead leaves
Green
White
Cold
You’re not coming, are you.
I did it again
It did all this
For nobody
Again.

Hive account@coloneljethro this could also be a #fridayfreewrite if you'll still have me. But technically it's about 2am Saturday, my time.
