Four Trees


First is the tree of light.
It grows in blindness.

Second is the tree of knowledge.
It grows in ignorance.

Third is the tree of discernment.
It grows in confusion.

Fourth is the tree of life.
It grows in darkness.

    Police State

    Name the wood beneath
    Each culprit’s fingernails
    And you can trace the place
    They clawed out to escape,

    Or, better, name that tree
    Where who loves whom was carved
    Before our special ops
    Took the runners down.
