- After climbing a tree
- I am almost five again
- As if I never left Mom’s side
- Before I cried all the way to school
- Innocent as this spring’s first rose
- My house looks warm from the branch
- A living proof of history
- Curtains swaying happily
- Before being taken down
- I hang on to the widest branch, clinging
- Not facing the moving truck
- Refusing the sight of the cardboard boxes
- Suffocating my childhood memories
- And the bandages of labels scribbled on their foreheads
- My mom paces back and forth on the empty floors
- Dad caresses the walls before he hides a sad face
- The tree and I say our goodbyes
- I pack up my heart in a leaf, and we leave
