Come Hell Or High Water

Hell itself may be contained within the compass of a spark. - Thoreau

we danced and chanted

as the world spiraled downward

voiceless and slanted

Author's Note

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen." - Thoreau
