I went where there were trees
Before the pirates came
Leaving charred embers
Now bald petrifaction
Like bleached skulls remain
Uncovered skeletons
Earth-skeletons exhumed
By earth-breath
And earth-tears
Weeping for lost trees
Jane Sharp has lived in Vrahassi, a mountain village in Crete, for the past sixteen years. She has been writing poetry for a lot longer. Her poems have been published in magazines, read on the B.B.C. and have won prizes.
