Textured bark of a sawed down tree Reshaped mahogany that you see Was once a mighty lung for earth to breathe- Now holds your wall together easy. Tilting the lens away, keeping steady; in a close encounter with the wood. ‘We, owe nothing to anyone’, though true; Makes no sense when you **** he very house you ought to live in' Slash n burn, felling, charcoal making - But it is turning the hill into a naked land. Dusty roads, lack of water, scorching heat in the summer and seething cold in winters, all extremes unsuitable for the living.
