Leave Me Hidden

I was having trouble deciding which to watch: Night of the Living Bloggers, or Attack of the Neck-Brace People. In the end I just went for a walk.  In the woods I stopped wondering why of all trees this one: my hand pressed to fissures and ridges of  bark’s hugely magnified fingerprint, forehead resting against it finally, feeling distinctly  a heartbeat, vast, silently booming there deep in my hidden leaves, blessed motherworld, personal underworld, thank you  thank you.  by Franz Wright.  Excerpted from F.  Copyright © 2013 by Franz Wright.   Alfred A.
