tree-hugger's lament

[aptsvet]

speak not of trees to me nor mention their
penchant to crash under a load of ice
i find  this one's untimely death unfair
its exit from my window-pane not nice

trees come and go yet this one was for me
a hub in the frail internet of love
gone now with its particular ip
it burst a hole i cringe at thinking of

luckily in this frozen world of ours
even when all the bets are off it is
still possible for love to last for hours
after its object terminates our lease

the last one standing in our stormy town
stay with me yet my love do not fall down
