In Iron Wilderness

Bags are everywhere

snagged in the fingers of dead trees

signs of last nights weather--

strong winds,

 

high water.

 

And so it is with life.

 

The breeze picks up

 

and we soar (the

thing about veins and roots is)

 

until we snag.

 

Flap like a husk

gutted

 

on a fencepost.
