stilted

standing in stilts over the fire

(wooden stilts)

sleeping in stilts over waiting

water (paper stilts)

heating sleep up in prep

for a slide down (throat

stilts) unoared

lying down in stilts

telling truth to

the horizon (still stilts)

who knows it

kneeling in stilts

to express how the best

is broken (stilts

of mirror wandering off

into god

would know what

if knowing were anything in

this land
