Petrified Forest
such wide gaps
counting the rings
many man-y years
between them
rough, stone-y wood
provides
and hides
pointed pain
fallen first
then to pieces
shiny shards (but only later)
down the cheeks
a trip out West
a solid shell preserved
a state carelessly deserved
a fallen forest
past that misnamed Canyon
(Photo can't be found)
