Dendrometric Transect
9 point 2. 3 point 7. 6 point 9.
The graduated metallic tape
Calibrated to 3 point 1 4 is
Held with thumb and index finger,
Using both hands, slipped behind
The girth of her trunk measuring
Diameter at breast height—
As if you’re taking her bra off.
From her rings you know
She’s only 19, but through
The fog, with no fire, you leave
Her and reach for another.
