surrounded
raze
i
am
the
only
organic
living
thing
in
this
room
, surrounded
by
things
that
draw
no
breath
,
all
of
them
generating
more
noise
than
me
.
if
we
are
loudest
when
we
are
silent
,
i
am
working
on
my
deafening
roar
.
it
isn't
yet
quiet
enough
to
peel
paint
from
walls
. it'll
get
there
.

in
fertile
frost
,
my
breath
blossoms
a
sacred tendril.
no
dark
river
could
ever
make
cold
light
;
only
love
warms—bird
wild
above
,
rustling
the
season
of
life
.
