an experiment in permaculture poetics

 

 


Twelve

 

 

in the small cave of

    

the wound, the ground

 

is bitter and tangled but

 

we there uncover

 

                       primordial

 

                       softness

 

 

your mouth

 

your voice

 

a history that cannot decide

 

 

we are part of

 

a patchwork

 

now the trees are

 

winged creatures
