My hands
Are as rough as the bark of the vines I pulled from the trees and bushes.
Oriental bittersweet, smothering trees and stifling the forest.
Hundreds and hundreds of pounds pulling the enormous cottonwoods and oaks to the ground.
Mighty giants, deep grooved bark and roots blanketed with leaves of years past,
Brought slowly and painfully down to the earth.
