WHOEVER DRINKS FROM ME

Come, let us go away together into the wide world.

—THE BROTHERS GRIMM

Be not tiger nor wolf to rend me,

but brother as deer.

Brother as thirst.

Quarrel of forest, windfall of firs.

Water meant to wound

we repurpose.

Too dangerous to keep you

in the world.

Take to the woods, deer brother.

Dear brother.

Here I adorn you.

Adore you.

Here is our sorrow tree.

Here is our hollow.

Here only the sweetest grass.

O, your crown of rushes.

Finally our good hour.

Our gold all-encompassing.

I will never, never leave you.

Deer brother. Dear brother.
