raindrops
hanging from bare branches
sad decorations

climbing the trees
was allowed in my youth
except when they were in flower.
My father didn't want me knocking off
the potential for later fruit.
I miss the two damson trees
why did they both suddenly die?
I should plant another
in memory of my youth
with nettles underneath
where my friend Kevin fell.
