foxing
raze
i
am
a
wind
-
wobbled
fence
,
top
rail
torn
by
the
teeth
of
restless
rodents
.
i
part
my
pickets
to
watch
a
woman
wipe
her
phone's
face
with
the
hem
of
a
shirt
half
as
long
as
she
is
tall
.
if
i
were
a
book
,
you
couldn't
pry
the
liver
spots
from
my
jaundiced
pages
with
god's
hands
.
where
you
see
the
irrefutable
evidence
of
aging
,
i
see
the
wounds
that
have
weathered
me
into
what
i
am
.
to
paint
over
the
pain
would
be
to
miss
out
on
the
miracle
of
having
survived
it
.
