bog/hello/amagansett

, ,

bog a decaying sponge

a bog stacked mosses

a bog rain-fed

a bog infertile and cool

a bog no movement but sinking

a bog full of despair

a body on a bog becomes heavy

a body on a bog being pulled into earth

a bog is looking for nutrients in the body

the way the body looks for nutrients in another

a bog says feed me

put hearts in its recipe

a bog will kill if it needs to

bog bodies retaining skin and hair

bog people once full of despair

want to

be possessed?

a lover always

reaching out

of the wood

not intangible

in the least

you don’t know where

the path into the bog

            leads

                                            disappears into trees

so you follow
a mouthful of water

how are you?

lost

what is attractive about stagnancy mystery photograph blurry shroud

in mist easy to fall for ogopogo to see men dotting the shore could be cryptids faces
a tree walks across a lake in a mist in shadow a tree appearing like a brain
everything suddenly unknown is enveloping voices the air tastes like a name
faces reflected in the lake what can reach out of a city fog is muted and sucked
what discomforts you in nature silence gnarled branches hands desire contact
would like a suck a little brush of souls
