A man is made

Of flesh and blood

Of eyes and bones and water.

The very same things make his son

As those that make

His daughter.

A tree is made of leaf and sap,

Of bark and fruit and berries.

It keeps a bird's nest

In its boughs

And blackbirds eat the cherries.

A table's made

Of naked wood

Planed smooth as milk. I wonder

If tables ever dream of sun,

Of wind, and rain, and thunder?

And when man takes

His axe and strikes

And sets the sawdust flying –

Is it a table being born?

Or just a tree that's dying?
