Juniper
Mark Kanak

Red cedar’s giving twigs
faint bands of stomata
awl-shaped and twice as long;
 
red cedar, whose terminal
shoots sometimes droop
but are always quite fine
near banging blinds
and always whorled
in threes.
 
Four at window and plate
nearby, the poplar genome just unraveled
as it was, a gegenwelt of
possibility and

function.
