chain chews bark like butter 
this tree will come 
down 
trunk 
by 
trunk 
six large fingers growing from base 
each one with myriad branches thrusting 
out 
many dead sticks 
ready to burn it 
just outgrew our yard 
leaves blocking light 
roots sucking water 
look at ground and imagine 
system of roots singing down 
and out 
stabilizing 
steadying 
feeding 
supporting  
canopy of green 
towering 
shading 
protecting 
cooling 
who am I to cut it 
down
