Salmon Poetry
The Penmanship of Trees
To take these lines, however flimsy,
hurl them at the white shrouded sky.
Animal musk absent
from the pelts of boughs
Penetrate
the white
a gluten-
Nodules that line my throat
Enter the white
amnesiac hive,
not honeycomb- or yolk-
yellow. Beads
swarm, then—shingling,
a migration of pine needles
To cool the number of damp beads in this morning’s wind, smell the leaves and woodstuff it edged around and bore into all night;
no one saw
. A stalk of tree branches rocks behind the porch.
Poem from
"The Penmanship of Trees" read by Shira Dentz...
