Under the Oaks and Maples and Pines

He took his pop-up trailer to the woods. He parked it where his cousin said. In the woods. Under the Oaks and Maples and Pines.

It was chilly up there. But he swam anyway and then drank hot coffee with the neighbors. In the woods. Under the Oaks and Maples and Pines.

And he took some big nails for our cousin to use. He might need big nails. In the woods. Under the Oaks and Maples and Pines.

That was a chilly night several nights ago, and although he's now somewhere far away, the pop-up trailer and nails remain. Up there in the woods. Under the Oaks and Maples and Pines.
