WALNUT SKULL of some brutal fairy
run afoul of my dog
in the juniper mire
what depends
in these binds,
passion strings,
ivy suckers climbing
the knock kneed craning bridge
to that bright food
can freedom even begin to form
in the morning, reforming blossoms
if we mean to tread with ease
may we move at all
