In the shredding sound
Of chainsaw on cherry wood.
Why do machines always seem
Angry?
By the end of the day
Another hole has opened in the sky.
No shelter -
No shelter -
No shelter from the blistering sun
Of this new age.
Even to trees death must come.
Are these the things
that help old women
lay down their arms and say
Good night?
