Gopher wood had the capacity
To sustain life’s
Capacity for differentness.
“A vine was before me”
Purple with fruit for
Another.
Acacia wood could bear,
Could form unity
And could be borne.
Cypress gave its tone
To the instruments
Made from it.
Fruitfulness was the apple tree
Distinguished among
The trees of the wood.
Excellent as the cedars!
Dignity and stateliness
Amongst the twisted thorns.
What a grand entrance
Was through
The doors of olive-wood.
