First Line: You crash over the trees
Last Line: A green stone.
Alternate Author Name(s): H. D.; Aldington, Richard, Mrs.
Subject(s): Bible; Storms
You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch --
the branch is white,
the green crushed,
each leaf is rent like split wood.
You burden the trees
with black drops,
you swirl and crash --
you have broken off a weighted leaf
in the wind,
it is hurled out,
whirls up and sinks,
a green stone.
