Is Our California Incense-Cedar-dying?
©️By Jamie Okulam October 6, 2019
Our fluffy white cat, Sandy, sits under her,
his eyes, so much like a blue eyed crow,
turned up, crossed, as if he is listening to her.
There are more rust colored needles on her this year than there were last year.
My forehead is pressed against the cold glass patio door, watching him through the clear rain,
Sandy, is she dying?
The wind blows through her branches, sprinkling needles on Sandy’s nose.
He does not move.
Is she saying goodbye.
Sandy!
Can he hear the Banshee screaming .
His eyes chronically tear with blood…
an infection we can’t seem to cure.
Are we worried about our Cedar falling on our house.
She is big, middles aged.
She seems balanced in the Earth.
Not going anywhere.
If she dies, what happens.
We will see the neighbors behind us.
They will see us.
The four people our Cedar gives air…who are they.
Will they struggle to breath… when she is gone.
The Carbon She sequesters…who will eat it.
Sandy, where will he sit when he is hiding from the rain.
His eyes turned up, crossed, so much like a blue eyed crow,
blood dripping from his eyes…
an infection we can’t seem to cure.
