Each year, the mighty willow
on the corner, trunk three feet around,
or more,
hums with the buzzing saws that
trim it to the trunk.
Supple yellow switches, eager for naughty backsides
or basket making pile on either side of the fence,
gathered for scrap not utility,
and a giant stands naked again.

Not by staff.
If willows were near the school, I’m sure the kids would makes some…
