Picture
40. medicinal

the pill that he
took showed him

how it felt to climb over
the green mountain

and swim the
brown river clothed

to cross a border of
fences and weeds.

anything to get here
where he was already.

he looked around winded
wondering about

the things he’d collected
and the wives he’d left

and was homesick for
for the village he’d been
​
trying to come home to
when he took the pill.
