一棵杏树死了
                                      苏和平
                    老家院墙角落
                    不知不觉长起一颗杏树
                    一年一个样
                    直溜溜的高婷云天

                    树冠遮月蔽日
                    洁白杏花煞是醉人
                    年年杏子挂满树枝
                    树干高挺无人能及
                     
                    这颗杏树长了多少年
                    家中无人能说清
                    它是怎样死的
                    也无人能说清

                     它依然枯立着
                     迎接朝阳
                     送走晚霞
                     兀自无语
