Item content Attribute Value Object title LeafText Leaf / Sean Hewitt / Reprinted by / permission of Cape from / Tongues of Fire (2020) / For woods are forms of grief / grown from the earth. For the creak / with the weight of it. / For each tree is an altar to time. / For the oak, whose every knot / guards a hushed cymbal of water. / For how the silver water holds / the heavens in its eye. / For the axletree of heaven / and the sleeping coil of wind / and the moon keeping watch. / For how each leaf traps light as it falls. / For even in the nighttime of life / it is worth living, just to hold it. / Poems on the UndergroundDesign Attribute Value Material paper -
