Serendipity? This inn happens to be situated in a veritable grove of arbutus, their twisted figures the subject of many of Tina’s fantastic photographs and the art book we\u2019re collaborating on. My first day of writing today and I produced this rough draft despite feeling tired and fluey. Oh, and this place does have a lovely view, out back, so this afternoon I sat on the bed and gazed out the window. I came inside and worked at the dining table-my desk-after it got dark in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

FECUND<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast out sea tree<\/p>\n

hugs cliff heads, bluffs rocky soil,<\/p>\n

growing burls of water in drought<\/p>\n

and twisted, sideways, for the sake of light.<\/p>\n

Sinewy sun hog snaps rival plants<\/p>\n

or serpent slinks round their trunks.<\/p>\n

Spontaneously trimming contortionist<\/p>\n

kill slippers beetle branches,
\n.
\ndying as little as necessary.<\/p>\n

Core as habitat, squirrel base.<\/p>\n

Virgin slung fruit feeds robins, waxwing<\/p>\n

and deer red orange berries, dense white<\/p>\n

clusters of honey flowers offered to spring’s bees.<\/p>\n

Always in leaf she sheds her soft suit<\/p>\n

in the summer, blushing lost<\/p>\n

in cinnamon bark.<\/p>\n

Take a peek teat.<\/p>\n

What is under the skin peels?<\/p>\n

A smooth tongue. Virescent sheen. One knot-<\/p>\n

a button, a bump, a blossom end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
