CHAIN LINK BLUES

Tree trunk cut from its base.
Its branches finger their way up to intermingle between the
ins and outs of the chain link fence. 
A path the fingers took over the course of a
dozen or more years. 
This tree holds onto the fence even after it’s lost its life. 
A death grip. 
How long ago did someone come along to but its life out?
Why didn’t they remove
the fingers?
What was the point of
leaving them?
