Silhouetted Kapok Tree with Buttress Roots in Winter Drizzle

by Joy Gilmore

Copper-toned light from the setting sun frames a massive kapok tree standing alone in a flat meadow. The tree rises as a dark silhouette, its thick buttress roots spreading wide and flat against the damp ground like stone fins. Bare branches reach upward into the fading sky, devoid of leaves due to the dead of winter. Fine rain falls steadily, turning the soil into a dark, slick surface that reflects the dim light. The meadow grass is short and matted, showing no blooms despite the season's description, appearing instead as a uniform, wet texture under the gray sky. Water droplets rest on the rough bark of the lower trunk, showing the tactile weight of the wood. one drop of rain slides down the curve of a root, catching the last glow of the day before vanishing into the mud.
