wooden dad gift

the wooden knife dad
made for me
he keeps and keeps and keeps
to make life safe
for folding but not for what wood could do
were he a tree and not
a pail nailed for sap
on the blood good plane tree
that never knew amelia
only the song a busted guitar may try
to get to London
by floating or flowing under ocean mountains
doing the lindy
just like the painting said,
said the sick of more tree
