Replying to a comment on:

Seekers (Free verse) by Dovina

A tree with crocked branches brushes gently on stucco, the rough siding of a church, suggesting to the church how differently men and nature seek. While nature trembles over herself or stretches awkwardly, asymmetrically— yearning, adjusting, our houses stand measured and precise, our concepts bold and plum our utterances contained within walls.

Unlike a mouth plum, plum here describes a vertical surface, the side of a church. The tree with its irregular shape seems to say to the church, "Why are you so square and rigid compared to us natural things?"
