Leaning Tree

I'm looking at the Monterey Oak standing in the sun, rocking in the summer breeze.

And I'm looking at its trunk leaning in the direction of the street and the expanse of clear sky over it.

And I'm thinking about the hole in the sky created by the dying branches of the one Ash tree and the other hole from the branches we cut from the other Ash.

And I see new growth shooting up from the tips of the Monterey Oak at the end of a branch that extends back this way and up towards those two holes in the sky.

And I'm hoping that that branch will reach out and bolt into the blue and stop the tree from leaning.
