dirt demons

dirt demons, attempting to flee,

got into the roots of a tree

and upward they heaved

toward the thin, porous leaves

in the hopes that they soon would be free,

but an angel stood fast in their way

and she ordered the demons to stay,

thus ending their spree

but half-way up the tree–

where they can be seen to this day.
