restoration
raze
your
husband's
father
is
here
with
your
son
,
grinding
down
the
guts
of
trees
to
make
them
wide
enough
to
wish
on
.
beneath
the
soot
of
sapwood
is
a
hollow
.
the
walls
are
roots
and
earth
.
you
scan
this
impossible
abyss
for
life
and
find
nothing
worth
noting.
a
friend
who
was
named
for
the
sound
that
lives
inside
a
song
coaxes
flowers
from
the
dirt
.
she
oversees
a
symphony
only
your
eyes
can
hear
.
ranunculus
rises
to
meet
her
.
you
are
quaking_aspen
kissed
by
autumn's
breath
.
this
is
what
you
do
:
you
build
the
world
anew
with
all
the
hope
your
hands
can
conjure
.
