Olive Branch (12/9)
A man climbs a hill
carrying an olive branch
It is waxy
and held in the teeth - crushed
berries send oil
down the chin
He is tired
trying to plant the universe
A modern Theseus - his weight
a barren field
What flood destroyed? - he
reaches the top
It is a rock - windless
He pours his blood
into the earth
and waits -
