When overtaken


When overtaken
By the youth
Of old
This here
Scrubbed pine
Got carved
A land marked
Oozing pitch

Gasping at
Tiny tundras
Wreathed
And ungrabbed
Moss
I claw my way
Inoriginal
Followed closely
By a fly
Of clouds

The die here
A small mirror
Tractless
Faints into
A whiff
Of sphagnum
It spores
Carried
Off to bed
