Bent Over Sycamore

My Leaning Sycamore

  and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. — Luke 13:11

Bent over woman
I think of you whenever I see
the bent over tree in front of me

Crowded hard by a nearby oak
towering with powerful limbs
with reach about to catch her

She leans away toward open sky
reaching for her share of sun
causing a permanent sway

each day, overpowered, she now
bows in obeisance — no longer
able to straighten her stance

to stand upright and sure
