The Hansel & Gretel Forest 2
2
Gretel can’t see Hansel
the inside is dark
outside daylight with whooshing cars
Hansel finally breaks through
winded, his motor petering out on empty
a dogs locked jaw hooked on the chain
little yellow, little beady, closing in
Gretel at the base of a lone sequoia
made more monstrous
by her petite frame
30 feet down hill asleep
stop looking grackle
there are no crumbs here
Hansel can’t see Gretel
he is heaving
a flinging downward a spiral towards her
Gretel can’t see Hansel
the inside is dark
outside daylight with whooshing cars
Hansel finally breaks through
winded, his motor petering out on empty
a dogs locked jaw hooked on the chain
little yellow, little beady, closing in
Gretel at the base of a lone sequoia
made more monstrous
by her petite frame
30 feet down hill asleep
stop looking grackle
there are no crumbs here
Hansel can’t see Gretel
he is heaving
a flinging downward a spiral towards her
