The body lifted itself
in the darkness, and through it,
past floating pine needles
into the very hunger.
Which came like flowers
all bundled together
between the firm silence
of the lightless woods
and the sound of stars
breaching against the night.
The world closed its eyes
to see itself more clearly.
It had an agreement
with this body, to watch
carefully for decay
or signs of strangeness.
But there were Bacchanalia
to attend to. And it glimpsed
in the half-red dimness
some craving unfulfilled,
tended to it, and smiled
with all the joy of the bewildered,
the unkempt, and the distant.
Thank you.
