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.
