raze here is a leaf
the wind wanted
me to have
offspring of
an aspen tree,
jaundiced and thin-
skinned, with six
puncture wounds to
serve as scars on
its chipped chin.

now it bunks
with a book that's
bound to break me.

see how it conceals
a single white word
above the author's name?

every title should
be a living thing
on its last legs.
