Beauty in the Branches

Beauty in the Branches

“The branches turn abruptly back on themselves like the rune named yew, the rune for death. I want to ask their twisted forms “Does it hurt so much, coming out of the ground?” I lean on a trunk. The pitchy berries are dull red, the flat needles still. Then starlight.”
– Kim Stafford, “Pine, Fir, Cedar, Yew,” from Having Everything Right: Essays of Place
