Analysis of Hardwood

Dan Ronyak 1973 (Wisconsin)



Certain logs burn through the night, as do some poems sinter, falling here into a glowing ember, there ash on a blue flame, taming back all night the cold of winter, to etch fire into the depths of December, whose smoke and whose smolder you will long remember, of the oak of these poems and fires.
