Cowichan Valley, BC 4/17
there is no further menace in these woods
the stink of the primal
animal fear
has been loosened by Druidic creatures
who nightly congregate
beneath the elderly
massive ancient FIR
dance in beastly motions
rub up against TRUTH
and each other
howl and bray and screech
illumined emotional please
thus patriarch Spirit
Hammurabi et-sum
the loquacious ONE
with the left EYE
eternally blackened by sun
root peace
fire-phage
witches alone under virulent canopy
control natural levers
LUMINANCE
on nights with the CLEAN moon
other times ageless dark with no lines
comforted only by the taste of SOUND
something walks elsewhere in this forest
stumps with mushrooms grow soft
