Wood Poem II

Text from book (above) and video (below) • 2002-2003

Spiraling down from heights on nigh,
to find its roots
beneath the sky…

the form begins to plan escape,
spiraling lace reveals its shape…

a hidden goddess
breathes a sigh…

so deep is she, that only he…
can coax her from her hiding place.
