Storm

          I

You crash over the trees,
you crack the live branch:
the branch is white,
the green crushed,
each leaf is rent like split wood.

          II

You burden the trees
with black drops,
you swirl and crash:
you have broken off a weighted leaf
in the wind –
it is hurled out,
whirls up and sinks,
a green stone.

– H.D. (1915)
