Unshod is Earth as Earthling.

to order a book is to hold a heart in your hands.

It is to call up the words to page, pinching the once living pulp, now resurrected, between thumb and wood, then wood and bone, that smooth stag-gift, and to choose a form into which the tale will be told, bound by sewn seams and tight stitches.

Dreams touching thread to tongue and needle to page, again and again and again, each stitch and scissor snip writing and rewriting the ancient symbols anew, that tired pattern enlivened because you asked her to wake up...

Thread bitten, a knot tied, the body of words buttoned firm like a ballast of breath in threnody lungs surfing swells, those artifiical breakers called modernity.
