Thoughts, Stories, The Poem
relieved to be hanging by a thread…
Mitchel David Ring
Coming out of the West, your first thought is how quickly the trees thin…
There are catastrophic processes which do not kill the host until its purpose is spent…
You just keep adding letters…
a pile of wood to last us or maybe bones I can’t remember…
A landscape done in oil pastel hangs on the wall below the staircase…
Come tell me what the forest says…
why not stay dissolved?
I’m not going to say anything that my eyes haven’t already said…
skin worn over bones like before…
This feeling like a memory has entered me…
once this fell roaring from the mountains…
Ignore the blood on the snow it will wash away come spring…
These are strange waters and stranger still the waves…
Like claws they rise above me, the trees, grasping at the sky…
