Drenched in salt-sea spray,
and cast into the role
of rootless drifter.
Branches broken,
flayed of bark,
and scarred by worm-inflicted wounds.
Then beached,
and bleached by searing sun.
Till eager hands reached out
to place me on display.
'Serendipitous', they say.
'A masterpiece'.
'Such subtle textures'.
'Sublime asymmetry!"
