the tree poem

by Devon E Mattys

I human.
I magnolia.
I aspen and I elm.
I apple, cherry, peach, and fig.
I redwood, I dogwood,
I beech and I birch.
I sycamore.
I maple.
I oak.

I human.
I Christmas.
I hat and I shoe.
I family.
I "Dollar," I "Lending."
I money.

I juniper.
I cedar.
I fir.
I do, I really do.
But more than these,
I, human:
I pine.
