Does Madrona ache, or mourn, or celebrate
Those seasons when its skin begins to peel,
Exposing all the green wood underneath?
And does that stripping also slough
The blackened scars below? How does this work?
And what — if anything — does this tell us
About those seasons when we, too,
Must be revealed beneath the masks
That may have grown too small for us to wear?
