REFUSAL
​
​
​

I consented to
stone after stone

in the terrible
season until

it made
a riverbank

and the riverbank made
a sleeping form

upon which all
the rosehips were past

and now you are sleeping
drunk on a bed of them—

pressing them to dry
any way

that the forest
fire behaves

like liquid
down slopes above you is

what’s been made—
