1 <br />Is this writing mine <br />Whose name is this <br />Did I underline <br />What I was to miss? <br /> <br /> 2 <br />An upheaval of leaves <br />Enlightens the tree <br />Rooted it receives <br />Gusts on a spree <br /> <br /> 3 <br />Beauty makes me sad <br />Makes me grieve <br />I see what I must leave <br /> <br /> 4 <br />Scaffold, gallows <br />Do whose will <br />Who hallows wood <br />To build, kill <br /> <br /> 5 <br />Blind man, anvil <br />No hammer strikes <br />Your eyes are spikes<br /><br />Samuel Menashe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-cross-purposes/
