Ode to an Elm Tree
You lived long, very long,
but the Dutch sickness
got you finally,
and you were felled.
I’m sorry about that.
We had no choice in the matter.
The city made us.
I just want you
to know
that we miss you
very,
very
much.

Heartbreaking! I love how the form looks like the profile of an elm.
