Literature Text

Woods rot, wet cracks, lung snap  

no deeper resonance
no riverbed hum
only ragged mists.

This land has been
softened
(marred)

village women, nurse, frown, shut fences

skittish cattle
calves
flank
blank

a stare from the naked echo;
a wolf-like yelp - tendons tight

inner thigh
pelvis, hip

hibiscus
rosehips
lemonbalm

O great ancient one
Leave this circle
Let the hills gather
Let the fault-lines roar.

No Deeper Silence - a tribute to Joan Grave’s “Bad Howl In The Naked Echo.”
