I started with a tree,
Brought the chainsaw
And felled it.
I trimmed off the branches,
Stripped the bark
To the underskin
And let the sap drip.
I used the log-splitter
To make the trunk
Into workable pieces.
I chose a log,
Used my wood-splitting axe
To divide into four.
I whittled down,
Pared away
All the insignificants
Until I sat with a twig,
One word,
You.
