Sidney, BC 17/17
culminate
in spread-eagle
face of the plant-sized Man
with green skin
mechanical attitude
shuffles in the thick sand
figures of the breath
imagined
the drums reverberate
and locals breathe the flame
and shout stony invective
WE gave THEM baubles
THEY gave US heartache
and whispers forgotten
and secrets released
and the very fiber
living PLANTS
surrender to the FIRE
