The last spoken word he heard

Go deep in the forest, the stix

you’ll need for a bundle--a faggot


The trees’ sheddings, without wick

break easily. Bind one, bind a faggot


In Winter, the makings more visible

The stems of oaks: a small faggot


For the sake of fire, pull branches

from what you scouted—the faggot


Three dozen a long way go

Together—makes flame, a faggot
