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—
