Who can follow
the contours
of my mind,
turning and weaving
like the sinewy, gnarled branches
of a contorted tree,
like a map drawn
by a man all at sea,
or a child being
transfixed
by the flight of a bee.

twisted gnarled branches
character forged over
years
still reach the sunshine

The lone tree
against a grey sky
#gnarledbranches
snake upwards
like a penitent
begging for
forgiveness
from an
unfeeling god.

the willow sings
through its gnarled branches
touched, the river veers

Gnarled branches, swollen
Knuckles of the boughs, decades
Of weathering storms.

arms are gnarled branches
as we become winter trees
letting frost settle
