in the state forest
amidst all manner of irrational things
I stand my ground
a little steam escapes
from my construction
just a loose rivet
nothing more
under the maculata
all deeds aspirations and crimes
amount to little
the claim staked
is less significant than hoped
while all around
the forest prepares
for another species
my steam departs the canopy
just as any good party
will liberate balloons
