quarry
raze
we
fortify
our
fragile
frames
with
fat
and
a
fuller
coat
of
fur.
some
ancestral
whisper
tells
us
what
we
need
to
know
to
survive
this
unforgiving
season
.
our
bodies
change
shape
to
match
the
bending
of
our
brains
.
we
hide
in
the
hollow
boles
of
trees
and
traipse
across
unloved
telephone
lines
,
cheating
death
by
staring
into
its
featureless
face
without
flinching.
there
are
darker
woods
than
these
and
deeper
chasms
to
be
bullied
into
.
here
the
air
, gelid
and
bejewelled,
is
still
good
enough
for
dreaming
.
