Written by Jacob Moses

 

Autumn, when I come alive

When flannel drapes me

Serves as chainmail

Against arctic air

 

One with the winding wind

I am the embodiment of

Queer quadrilaterals

 

Lumberjack longing for

Cocoa and s’mores

Humming back, belonging

Quid pro quo endures

 

For I am the one who offers

To the soul of the woods

 

Whether in the form of ash

Whether in the form of seeds

Whether in the form of metal

 

I am a man among the trees

Among the mud and swamps and

Rivers I’ve crossed often

 

But these squares keep me

Contained, I choose the

Right angles to cloak me

 

I make the left turns

As rain soaks me

 

Undress me to my core

Leave me nude in your

Everlasting voyeurism

Beyond these four walls

 

Aperture of the sun clicks

As the moon filters the noise
