“Egress”
{In honor of William Wordsworth, who planned, but never completed, an epic poem, _The Recluse_}
twenty years later,
the recluse emerged
after being driven into the trees
by something
unspeakable.
between the slopes  
of sticky green sponge
he tried to recall
the sound of the human voice
the echo it makes
resonating in bare space.
his first cry was carried into the wind
by the tender curves
of catastrophe
—-a road that writhed
under the weight of his grief.

“Egress”

{In honor of William Wordsworth, who planned, but never completed, an epic poem, _The Recluse_}

twenty years later,

the recluse emerged

after being driven into the trees

by something

unspeakable.

between the slopes 

of sticky green sponge

he tried to recall

the sound of the human voice

the echo it makes

resonating in bare space.

his first cry was carried into the wind

by the tender curves

of catastrophe

—-a road that writhed

under the weight of his grief.
