Nature Skeleton Trophies
Dr Abe V Rotor
In Taiwan I visited a tree nursery, and a tree cemetery
where the trees in the past are revered and remembered;
in Israel I visited a sacred park, each hero a living tree;
in Sinai I saw remnants of forests dismembered.
Driftwood with attached oyster shells recovered from an
estuary makes a "perfect" trophy of Nature's skeleton,
a reminder of man's indifference, greed and folly.
What comes out of a broken jar scares the guilty,
In a world unknown, yet known to those in piety,
standing at the crossroad of reality and fantasy.
"A harvest of trophies, not of victory, but of defeat." avr
"What good is a high rise, spiked and chained,
its grandeur is but a cross in the shy?" avr
