  Tongue and Groove

  Dave Smith

  Forms a lock. But how does it begin in this world? The twig(嫩枝)

  falls, snaring(捕捉) another, and another, a storm's blackness

  gathers and sends its will scudding down and over the quiet

  niches of the forest, where a nest of barky remnants

  holds, waiting it seems, and is then lifted, swirled away.

  Like the afterlife. We never see where they land or in what shape.

  We mimic what we can. We remember. We say this way.

  The shadow man's fingers feel the groove. Fits to it

  a piece of firm, now barkless(無(wú)樹皮的) wood, slender and pliant,

  then into it, then deeper, snugly(舒適地) , and carries it with him a while.

  When the wall stands, ugly and crude, needing its wind-cover,

  the hand, after the night with love, fashions plank and rib,

  wets for entry, slides, sees this cannot be easily parted.

  Long years hold up the rich color, the vein-mapping.

  Some like to sand hard, thinking to get back the early patina(銅綠,光澤) .

  My wife from the first wanted to paint it brilliant cloud white.

  Such an old look, such dour(嚴(yán)厲的) faces. At last I gave in.

  The paper, medium rough, slid like a small hill of gravel

  loosing the smell of pine sap. I could see the shadow

  felling the tree, making the rib, the lock, nailing up forever

  what would soon be lost in the sailing white, layered like mist

  you cannot see through. The little nail holes puttied-in,

  like eyes, slab after slab shoulder to shoulder, knots where

  limbs grew, room like a snow-crypt. We live here.

  Still, I know stains will rise some day, the lock split apart.
