Hands
Sun shines through, see my translucent hands
Skin that looks like wax by candle light.
Delicate, the palms of these here hands
Testament to toil, by my night light.
Harder men have bunions on their palms
Skin that’s worn and dirty finger nails. 
Strong is, the history of their palms
Testament to toil, as hard as nails....

The Ironwood Tree
The best fire wood to be found
If dried it cannot be split
Extremely dense and heavy
And as hard as nails

Leathery evergreen leaves
Red bark peeling from the trunk
Whitish flowers, red berries
Growing from a cliff

It’s known as the Ironwood tree
But that’s not its actual name
A Pacific Coast native
The Madrona tree

Where when measuring up you wouldn’t fail
So cheer up you can look cool 
By shaving it off and growing a goatee as the rule.

a major key in its survival.

(P.S. One of its distinctions
is its meat tastes like chicken.
It's other, its scales used as medicine.
And if continued to be eaten
will sadly face extinction.)
