                Wonderful, you do have a way with the poetry luv.Now if it was me I'd take a sprig of that cut down branch and stick it in water in a jar and grow new love roots though.
  "just as it does not matter if the tree branches bloom
  after we have cut them down to make firewood."

                Hi, meant to comment on Eyes Closed, which I really liked because it reopens the possibility re-experiencing our concrete realities with or without the presence of memory, but re-awakens the senses, which might raise the question which comes first, or simultaneous...(Oh, epistomology.. how do we know about stuff?)
Now, on this one, (Im in comments & cant see the title)...but firewood...I have the feeling of rough edges, but it's more like I'm sensing a sculpture in the first stages of process. Maybe that's because Ive been reading you for a few years--and it's not that you didn't chart your experience thru writing.
Maybe I see,here,some unfinished business starting to resolve itself on another level. I'm glad you dipped back into unresolved experience, but I also feel the language of this write is completley necessary, and might show up as a shadow, more refined, in this work you have yet to write.
For what would process be if we did'nt have our very own experiences, and something to work through?

                A lovely poem! and I especially like that last image.  In its own way it reminds me of the truth in that strange phrase, "Dead man walking."

                    I know that feeling
                
                and you conjure its heartbreak perfectly

                Lovely Simone, but always rake through the ashes  you might still find a golden heart.

                    But sometimes when we cut the tree branches, the rest of the tree gets 
                
                stronger, and more able to bloom better, isn't it?
