winter wormhole
my game was good enough
to keep out of the marsh
giving myself [at least] a chance
to shine on a steely day
I ventured into the forest
[perhaps for the last time]
knowing full well
some singletrack trails
have no end
voices along the way
whisper & shout [on occasion]
interested in body language
and how it might translate
once leaving itself
november two thousand twenty-two
