Some wood bends and some breaks.
Some we shape into baskets, wicker,
some into toothpicks, some into beams
that carry the weight of our lives.
But this petrified triangle beside
my computer is a different wonder:
an earthen hued rainbow of rock
shiny as ice, a knife once wood.
I could not carve it but it could
whittle me. I call it the poem
the wood made of its life, each
fat and lean year in shining rings.
The sugar and salts, the water
and sap are long transmuted
into a bright stone shape that has
outlasted not only tree but forest.
