I Am Made of Many Doors

by Claire Hero | Oct 23, 2013 | Poetry | 0

I AM MADE of many doors:

—water

falling through water

—white arrows

on painted lichen

—tracks in snow –

pine marten? squirrel?

little snow hands

(Can I say they are

“like” my hands?

” “my” hands

”

. . . . . . .

: Skeins of wool

fall through my fingers

I knit a sheep house, I knit

a sheep house for my body

beautiful body

entered, entering
