Lattice work of pale green veins
Crisscrossing the emerald fabric
Embellishing scarred brown trunk
In ivy sequins
That flutter in the wind
And sing like the birds 
That make their homes in the dress
Shielded by the thick curtain
Of windblown leaves.

Written during my study of Pablo Neruda, not really his topic but sort of his writing style. Enjoy!
