pavement

Woke up to chainsaws, diesel, cigarette smoke and the death of trees. Cracking branches splitting my heart. Tidiness destroying wildness. Shade, shelter and vitality crushed and chipped and blown into the back of a truck. Beauty disappearing in favour of efficiency. Another patch of pavement because, clearly, we need more.
