Black trees!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)

Epic
This noise!
 Unbearable!
 Truly terrible, are, the sounds, of, these trees!
Killing, the silence, as if, screaming!
 Tap, tap, tap!
The window, pane, makes, a screech!
Why, do, they scare, with, no applause, slicing, worse, then, a cord!
 Dead bugs, dwell here!
 Beware, the plants, kill, mosquito's!
Murder!
The owner!
A human vulture!
His culture?
Built, from, the best!
Brains!
Filled his plates as death!
