A quote by Voltaire
The big joke is that
nature will survive
relentless and brave
It’s us who won’t
vulnerable and ignorant
Twins in the hole of
the big cedar
hide-and-go-seeking
hiding
not sure
It’s not the kind
of joke that we laugh at
it’s the kind that stops
us in our tracks
and makes us a little bit
sick when we’re trying to
fall asleep or make love
I find myself
wringing my hands
biting hangnails
scrubbing at the grout
around the tub
