foliage
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
.
