The umbrellicus palm ... at summers end the wind ripped, sun bleached umbrellas litter the depot tarmac, lay in heaps and molding mounds...beyond repair, heavily pruned. Shutters stained and sundered. Rusty hinges no longer swing, in breezes no longer gentle. Train tracks reduced to static, oxidized calligraphy on a field of embossed memories...the skin soft end page of an empty photo album impressed by shadows and the silent characters of sign language from long ago. Also called the mourning (or mournful) palm. GALLERY of TREES...please |
