their heart grew cold
they let their wings down; 8/26/07, 3:23 AM

Good thing they're staked in their pots.

We wouldn't want them to blow over or anything.

And they sure do the trick.

That sidewalk's a veritable sylvan glade.

And there's not a street vendor in sight.

But they're skinny, sad little things.

Not much in the way of heartwood, cold or otherwise.

Heh.; 8/26/07, 6:44 AM
