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.
