It  takes much time to kill a tree ,Not a simple job of the knife Will do it. it has grown Siowly consuming the earth , Rising out of it, feeding Upon its crust, absorbing  Years of sunlight, air, water, And out of  its leprous hide Sprouting leaves.  So hack and chop But this alone wont do it. Not so much pain will do it.  The bleeding bark will heal And from close to the ground Will rise corled green twtgs, miniature boughs Which if unchecked Will expand again To former size. No, The root is to be pulled out-Out of the anchoring  earth; It is to be roped, tied, And pulled out-  snapped out  or pulled out entirely, Out from the earth- cave, And the strengthof the tree exposed The source, white and wet, The most sensitive, hidden For years inside the earth. Then the matter Of scorching and choking In sun and air, Browning, hardening, Twisting, withering, And then it is done.
