Brown as late Autumn,
jointed with leaf-fragments,
your face a horned mask,
you pretend to be old wood.
Did a male mount you?
Did you graze on his head
as he impregnated you with twigs?
You will give birth
to copper stickpins.
When your life dries up
and you sink into earth
you will bring forth green.
