Sycamore Villanelle

This violent sycamore,
Is more than salvaged.
This ghostly contour

Is exposed to the world.
A beautiful image,
This violent sycamore

Makes for
An artful visage.
This ghostly contour

Is frightening, or
Better yet, a wreckage.
This violent sycamore,

Has unfurled
Among the foliage,
This ghostly contour.

However gnarled,
It keeps with its passage,
This violent sycamore,
This ghostly contour.
