Sun Forest:
strange, felt deeply
And I was.
Instead I forgot,
suckered, became used to
crashing underfoot, give way!
Later, I found strong feeling.
Some.

Moon Forest:
the script of my life--rewriting.
all I could, fought too long
unreasonable and cruel
I felt helpless in the attic
I longed, soft-screamed.
I thought I was able to
I was disaster
