I have learned to love the wood,
because it speaks
darkness, of things I can grapple with,
unlike the lies of humans.
Demons don’t lie well.
Angels are mum, unless disturbed.
The sound of a murderer is honest,
in the wood, alone.
I am a man who
wrestles himself
like a vain glory,
waiting for
for his God
to come.
I hide
so he will hunt me
and snap me like a stick.
God came to earth
to put a claim
on me,
and I can hear the bellowing love
in every man and woman.
So under stars I stand
and wait
to one day name him.
