look over the river
where mudcuddled pups call
trees that fell
embolden the chalice-gold sun
mincing
through the pines
receding far away;
ash
hollow bark to be martyrs
listen to myriad of soles soiled in the earth
nail them

Compare this poem to the shit you wrote like a year or two ago. I told you that you’d be really good if you applied yourself. And here you are now. Good job.
Exquisite prose, Joseph. You piqued my interest with the photo!
