from "The Wilder Annual," by Krysta Jabczenski |
Structural Integrity
Water and moss and rot
and a treeful of leaves released
because the tree said to the coming cold
I accept you
Whatever will find its way in
finds a way in
If there is one thing we know
it is the continuity of the body
but what to make of the flesh
and its permeability
