Splitting 18" long rounds from a beetle-kill
pine tree we felled
so it wouldn't smash a shed
- with a borrowed splitter briggs and stratton
twenty-ton pressure
wedge on a piston push-rod
some rounds fall clean down split in two,
some tough and thready, knotty, full of frass and galleries, gnarly gnarly!
- my woman
she was sweet
