Inbogganing
a jacket has three sleeves because we have three arms
*
when it’s time for dinner, the sun sets
*
if you move slowly enough, you are lapped by the forest
*
we buy seats on the plane for our ancestors, sing as we fly through clouds
*they close their eyes on the hilltop. they inboggan
*
the deafness of snow, the blindness of fire, the tastelessness of sleep
*
no two snowflakes or fingerprints the same; identical days
*
there is something tornadoesque in the distance, the horizon like wood grain, or a hairstyle
*
do not button the stormcloud coat when you sit in the lightning chair; the rain means that you will be new
