I haven’t been out of this valley in 16 days.
\nThere’s a loop that I walk,
\nit whips away from the ocean.
\nTwo green thighs with
\none way in, one way out.
\nYou could die here.
\nDo you want to die here?<\/p>\n
In this theatre of mountains and river,
\neucalyptus ushers,
\npeople and their dogs, their fruit punch, their Christmases.
\nCloud descends to abate the heat of that
\ndespicable star,
\nTo cool me and my fire.<\/p>\n
A leaf ballet, a red-hot fungus.
\nIt’s all there in the creek:
\nA gift from the cyprus and a bird without a nest.
\nCoy are glinting in a dam.
\nIt’s true, I may be out of my tree,
\nbut I don’t want to die here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
