Shot by Susan Isla Tepper

I stopped reading your face 

and addressing your silence.   

Went to the woods and shot 

wherever leaves moved.

Down one path to the next

led by a series of 

heavy truck tires that

churned up the ground 

as if they knew me—

my unconscionable needs—

the dirt deeply unforgiving.
