Today's poem is by Chad Sweeney

[Carried by deer a living]
       

Carried by deer a living
Shadow on the wall I hear

The valley hurry over to relive

Weathers of other lives
I am born I bear the cry

Each animal its word in breaking
Seven nested futures who

Were we
Heaps of bones making love I

Storm
In shells of color past pouring

Out from if
Threads of inert

Fire
Trace the boundaries of a wheel
