BETTER TO THIRST


those who stomp the forest
hope to feel rock
or hear the stopped thump
of wood held petrified
beneath earth
red and cold and crushed
not disappeared
or patched with resin
but strong from waiting
for a deep breath
a trickle more than moist
they do not even know
what they search for
