DOORS IN WOODS

 

brambles mouth pillows

 

a person’s steps

break brown hearing

 

from wind’s signature

 

branches bark agreements

accept through mould

 

a thrush-shape

 

 

through animal-bed

 

heaviest mouth-skills

& eyes ceiling a door

 

 

tongues elongating

through brambles

 

crackling plays

of ice

 

broken hearing

sheds strangers’ feet

 

feet rip against

cross-hatch

 

gathering reminders

 

 

moss passing

the room

 

woven tongues

gate sense’s

 

dreams from brambles

 

 

reading mouths’

seasons opens slats

 

open slats smell

mushroom

 

an asocial

nostril blurs

 

 

closed wood(-)shapes

gather a thrush

 

brambles’ skills

zip eyes

 

stories become

one ring

 

of woven hair

 

 

vast abyss-doors

warm nothing

 

gold stories

beam people

 

through toes

 

travel is

the hole

 

builders feather

 

 

corner pushing

through woven dream

 

woods amongst

clothed crunch

 

liquid creeks

become a bed’s

 

signature

 

 

in step hear

ling & sea

 

ever-sensitive

twigs can open

 

cross-mush

in some

 

croaked mind

 

 

cracks passing loss

 

forgotten eyes

meeting ceilings

 

the heaviest hole

pockets

 

human shapes
