the round wooden table

it was a good
piece of wood. it took
stain well,
bringing out the grain.
hard
and clean,
unblemished,
the bark
sanded away, no knots.
a nice table, a nice
round table
polished and centered
for the room, but i wonder
if it missed being
part of a tree,
with its friends in
the forest.
