In the forest I saw a tree. It seemed to pour from the ground. It's an old bloodwood near the turn of the river. It was a very hot day and flames were in the sky. The tree is a column hewn out of living bone, red sap falling. Rock-hard tranquillity is shaken and it is the river that rearranges the pieces.
