A document, a form, a letter:
Thoughts materialized.
Trees bear paper, not
Like fruit or blossoms. Alchemy
Yields paper, as I
Understand it. Pulp
Of pulverized splinters, thick as oatmeal
Is pressed into thin leaves,
Sheets, like something woven
And tossed on a bed, skimming a body,
Sleeping or almost asleep.
