The Crown




The sickness is already in our lungs
In our brains
In our veins
In our teeth
They don’t really matter
The flies, the sound of this creek or the wind in the pines
It is already in us
It is us

The dead trees know about it
The worms
The monks
The birds sing about it in their eerie verses

All the lizards under the sun
The weavers
The Train wreckers

It’s in every bare branch
In every fish like stone
In every fire

We have lived through it
We have breathed it
It is already flowing inside our spines
Holding onto our feet
Deep and  and shallow

the gas
It is
us
