golloggollog (2015)

identify with the log
there in heat and rain, ice born rot.
call yourself a soldier
or best, a wife.
brand the menu with the log once new.
it has fresh bark,
it makes a song and has concentric pancakes for handshakes.
it is rockwelly and norm
sublimed, the log on a blanket print
the now termite defeating log
with jedi log skills.
age drills at log with a macabre sense of venom,
log laughs not bought
as a stick from the store rots instant
why is that? o kiln
kiln me, golloggollog

"Two of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown's top priorities are on a collision course.

Earlier this month, the Portland Housing Bureau announced public financing for the latest in a series of record-setting wooden skyscrapers. The Framework, a 12-story Pearl District high-rise, will eclipse another Portland building, the Carbon12, as the tallest building in the country made of wood.

That announcement marks a success for Brown: During the past two years, she has invested considerable energy and state resources into promoting the development of a product called cross-laminated timber, which will be used to build the Framework."
