Arroyo Creek
by Shannon P. Laws
The death berries are still The holly berries are hidden The blackberries I grab by the handful Bunches unprotected by spiders not yet eaten by robins
Deeper I travel into this old growth grove Lay my body down at these roots of Lady Cedar, she accepts it Forest floor fingers unknit my soul Gulliver it down to the creek I let them take me
