Lila Dreams Her Bones Turn to Kindling
It’s just that the waking Lila
feels like driftwood
washed-up
on the island of Regret.
Her bones gone to firewood
Lila hunts for berries
for nuts and seeds
for small game
to roast over the flames
of her wooden bones.
Her cricketsong legs
rubbed together make music
then fire.
