Forest creaks my fellow freaks of natural progression.

Empty assignments followed by impression

of leaves of the ground

and heavy boots with heavy feet.

I met a woman in the woods.

She told me

about

her enemies

and empty dreams

where she told strangers

about her wagers

on the outcome of the universe.

She was convinced she was correct.

I was

convinced of other things.

Like watching her in the rain

and wishing her away

until the nighttime power lines

criss-crossed my pupils.

Electricity.
