"The Tally Stick" by Jarold Ramsey
"Here from the start, from our first of days, look; / I have carved our lives in secret on this stick / of mountain mahogany the length of your arms / outstretched, the wood clear red, so hard and rare. / It is time to touch and handle what we know we share." So reads the first stanza of Jarold Ramsey's poem "The Tally Stick" in his book Thinking Like a Canyon: New and Selected Poems, 1973-2010 (Antrim House, 2012).
