398. Who eats light?
WHAT SHE WANTED
What she wanted was to return
to the original rainforest
hear water pushing
through the sapwood
and leaves eating light
as she wanted to eat light.
She knew her nature
was to be water, not wood.
She knew there was a grove
of vertical rivers
of roaring waterfall-trees,
and a grove of whirlpool-trees
with vortices she could dive through,
past the hollow years of her life
right back to the roots.
