...Walking is like
imagination, a
single step
dissolves the circle
into motion; the eye here
and there rests
on a leaf,
gap, or ledge,
everything flowing
except where
sight touches seen:
stop, though, and

from bog to twisted forest
gnarled trees writhe and fork
asphixiated trunks - angular branches

joints
jagged weird
knotted and misshapen
petrified maniacal
