I met the man in the woods
he was releasing seeds
with the devil in his eyes and
silent vacancy in his mouth
against the trunk of a tree while
shadows came encroaching
like sunshine into water
how they crept upon him bare
first a drop, then another as
the leaves below him crackled
and with deeper breaths he
bellowed like a god in rage
as the sun began to die in its
calm smooth descent, so the
woods devoured him whole and
the seeds dissolved in the night
