Watch him weep
In the stony olive grove
As he burns the olive trees to angry neon ash
In the settled olive grove of pioneers, oh, pioneers, blessed, commanded,
In olive groves usurped from siblings
Usurped from
brothers
sisters
shaken duplicate gods
Usurped from brothers sisters gods,
Shaken,
At their duplication, eviction
Scar the olive trees into illness alien
Into contracts unnatural
Into angles unbalanced, unbecoming
Into curves of reaches desperate for suns not of their owning
Bend, twist, grope for gods not of their making
Boots and trees and voices
Shaking
Fists raised like knotted roots
Cancerous and grudging at
At prophets making poor choices, at
Gods wearing the wrong boots
