The space courdened off
By green fences
Blue tarpaulin
Like an accident site
Or murder
Where once stood a tree with leafy branches extended skyward
There stands a stump
A week later, before moss takes root
In place of the stump lies ground sawdust
A week later a square, clean and grey..
Cemented over like
there never was a tree at all
The price of progress
