Conditional Valentine

What piece of furniture
what human body
is still in good condition
after a hundred years
the furniture is just a skeleton
from a once vast forest
the human body is just a skeleton
from a once vast star-field
take this French oak wardrobe
from the early 1800’s I like
to think Pascal traveling to Paris
once noticed the fine tree it was
stripped of its leaves and
shivering in the February sun
now its shelves and three doors
house a big screen television
