rough-barked, smooth, shingled, or banded,
oak, hickory, maple, or gum.

Jim Minick: Sighs

How they wallop with softness,
how they soothe with the slow rush
of wind through the forest in your dog’s nose,
each follicle a pine to sing a contented song

To spoon is to slip into sleep
and the same soft, slow breath,
to listen to the rain
with one ear.
