Woodgrain

It carves into itself and it mocks

the curves that men would praise.

Did those that fled the gods not

find their fate in trees?

Daphne flees the sun and becomes

the laurel, later Dante iterates

Beatrice and becomes the poet.

Still, the glossed wood shines, the moon courses

through, heroes find flame for their bodies.


From the ashes, eaves.
