The forest genocide

log rings

Old trees are felled.
Their end is sudden.

Yesterday they basked
in the afternoon sun.

Today they're chopped and shaved
misshapen and deformed.

Fashioned into chairs and desks
holding cups, plates and telephones.

They could not imagine this fate
as the wind blew through their leaves at dawn.
