    The Hansel & Gretel Forest 8

    8
    The ground has shifted into puddles
    with thorny middles, little O’s everywhere
    broken with thin walkways
    the grackles are bathing inbetween
    jutting necks around thorns, little squawker
    Gretel sits on thick heavy roots
    and waits
    for a crack, a breaking open, a something soon
