Three Trees

Doğa Aslan

Three trees.

One is long,

One is green,

One is wearing a fedora.

Sharing the same root,

Complainants.

All at loggerheads as the green tree is too colorful,

And since the tall tree blocks the sun.

They also find the fedora hat uncouthly European.

Its branches are tangled together.

The leaves are intertwined,

Characterless.

The green tree cannot stand the shadow of the tall tree.

One night, it suddenly cuts off its roots.

Over this unexpected murder,

The tree with fedora that couldn't recover itself

Moves to Paris.

Three trees sharing the same root,

Complainants from their own resin.
