Come to the Wood
Come
to the wood,
it
has grown mighty.
Strength
of
youth
standing
upright against the winds
of seasons past.
of seasons past.
And the tree is brought to the earth
by

who

sharp
swings chopping into the bark
then deeper
beyond the flesh,
to the marrow.
beyond the flesh,
to the marrow.

the body
and
are tied one across
the other.
the other.
Wooden
arms
able to cradle life
until
it is drained
from
one who has brought life
into this land.
into this land.
