The Red Tree
Sometimes the day begins with nothing to look forward to…
An anonymous child awakes to find blackened leaves falling
from her bedroom ceiling, threatening to quietly overwhe.lm her
She wanders down a street overshadowed by a huge lifeless fish
that floats above her, imagines herself trapped in a bottle
washed up on a forgotten shore, lost in a strange landscape,
caught between towering ships about to collide or being on stage
before an audience, not knowing what she’s supposed to do. Just
as it seems all hope is lost, the girl returns to her bedroom to
find a tiny red seedling growing in the middle of the, floor
which, once noticed, becomes a vivid red tree that fills the room
with warm light.
