THE FOREST
next year they will be marked

again with circles of paint

like numbers tattooed on wrists

waiting for the train.


The conversation of the trees

is now stunted--

a stricken, amazed

silence echoes.


The caretakers count

their 30 pieces of silver.

The loggers count their

board-feet and drink another beer
It's not the whole poem, but I thought it was beautiful.
