Angelique Zobitz

 

A woman walks into the woods—seeking strength

and she finds a metaphor in the woods
a brown twig snaps, motes dance

dead things give way to new now
never—not—husk or shell she’ll

stretch so far that she can forget
what’s outside the forest.

Forage as winged things flutter
remember she used to believe in fairies

finds that even the smallest stings are still
so much better than being the brown

twig snapping from too much pressure
and not enough sunlight. Recall she is a tree

with deep roots, providing canopy for seeds
that will grow in her protective shade.

 

 

Angelique Zobitz (she/her/hers) is the author of the chapbooks Burn Down Your House from Milk & Cake Press and Love Letters to The Revolution from American Poetry Journal.
