You Were Broken.(Poem)

 
You Were Broken 
 
   The amazed, massing shade 
   for the glacial valley, made 
   by a single araucaria 
   that smashed its way 
   by micrometers of birth-push 
   under five centuries of dusks 
   of carbon dioxide and rainfall, 
   while the volcanic rocks made landfall 
   against its unrolled, harbouring roots; 
 
   and the roots took the rocks in their arms 
   and placed them, magically, 
   like stone children, about itself 
   as it unfolded its fabulous tale: 
   of the wood heart mourned to flint 
   by slow labour and loneliness, 
   by what it could not reach, yet see 
   at distance, and of the sound of that sea, 
   and of the cruel brightness 
 
   ...
