I am born again, I am alive
Although again, I never died.
When the men came,
And cut me down,
It took five men
And five saws,
And five hours.
Fifty-five years of growing
Chopped down in one afternoon
As if they could end me.
Who has spread roots down for
Longer than they’ve walked upright.
At night, while they lie still
in their dead, wooden beds
Tonight, while they rest
in the knowledge that
they’ve laid me to rest.
I shall take my roots,
and work my way up
Back above ground.
And be reborn.
