Bare of Burgundy and Berry

The trees are bare of their lemony leaves,
bare of burgundy and berry.
Branches stretch out, some forked, some leaning,
I wonder if I will heal and stay alive.

I try not to wonder too much.
I trust that I will live as my mother,
father, grandmother lived into ripe
old age, into lemony, berry old age.
