No. 7 (NaPoWriMo)
Untitled
By Hannah Six
Around me, and for miles, trees,
Clutching, dark and prickly
Pressing in on every side, standing so
Close at every turn
I haven't seen a sunset
Burn the western sky for years.
Meanwhile, the rain, the clouds,
Pressing down upon my head,
A dreary crown, declaring me
A woman far from home;
A crown I wear haphazardly,
Askew, it still announces me:
This woman, here, so far from home,
This woman is standing,
still,
alone,
Fenced in by miles of black-green trees
And ten-thousand foot high
walls of stone.
