willow
she walked us to her tree house
she helped us up inside
then pulled out the flashlight
and looked deep into our eyes
“this willow walks away from here
every thirty years
if you see it walking
if you see it move
its said this tree will find you
taking what its due
she pointed at me
“thirty years ago today
it saw your mother stare
she pointed at my best friend
“your father saw us too
then as we tried to run
the tree started to move
