Texting on Tree

Dr Abe V Rotor

Etchings on the trunk of dita (Alstonia scholaris), UST Botanical Garden 


Whose names these are, I do not know
      In this age of cell phones
They dream to leave their message 
      to live on through the seasons.

Words they live – they die in cyberspace -
      in the heart of a tree,
Perhaps to a passerby, tired and weary,
     and longing to be free.
