Honorable Mention
Core Sample
Kathy Paupore

Genealogy begins,
a small seed of possibility
silent, swollen, bursts
into nuclear

rings. The seedling
twists through time
to mark years, wet wide
birth, narrow dry

death. The trunk
marred by viral invasion,
larval sawfly, black
of fire scar, bends

to the slope. The grief
of wood is tempered
by climate, soil, sun.
Concentric arcs sensitive,

complacent. New cells
inside the cambium
spiral from the gravity
of the heart.
