Whispered Song

She planted a juniper
into the wet-black ground
covered in robins with
heads bobbing
searching for worms.

She planted a juniper
on her wedding day
to leave her mark
on the world.

She planted a juniper.
By Christmas it was
the height of three men.
She decorated it
with lights, paper chains, and
glass apples.
She decorated it with seed
bundles tied to its branches.

She planted a juniper.
Cardinals sat in its branches
singing to her all day long
their sad, pretty song.
