Wonderland

Allison's witness doll
dancing masked
with an egg
with me
over a shallow grave
friends take turns in.
Heel to head
dirt mandorla:
I lie down
in a strange death
pasture, crack
toward sky, gravity
mixing grief, snow melt,
relief, eye water.
So many ways
to make mud.

(a combined response to Wonderland's Pandemic Philosophizing in conte crayon and her 2020 earth installation, Feral Nostalgia's Delicate Commonweath)
