*by Hannah Darling Fenn*

To return a thing back to where it was born  
Spiraling into what would be or wood be,  
Knowing magic is true  
And ripe like a child does.  
In their ever-essence, never hapless.  
The closest ones to the stars  
And to what some call the great mystery.  
Like all the stories we’ve ever eaten  
To be closer to the poet.

Pomegranate, as the shell of a thing unwalked.  
A thousand small moments in the  
Anticipatory field of being an edible seed.  
Of being ruby red  
Of being something for the seers.

And if we wear furs  
To ward off creatures, but they  
Come anyway,  
Like some spirit of forest,  
Do they know what we know?  
Have they ingested the rhymes  
Far better than we ever could?  
Are they, perhaps, the new kings,  
Here to help us find the place  
We were born.
