November 10, 2022 - “What is Wild and What is Not” by Elizabeth Lerman

I am alone here, with all this land and the lake behind it, I am alone here, save for the dog, and she’ll bark at some things, perk her ears up at others, but she is scared, like I am, of the creaking wood, and the wind is so strong tonight I worry the walls will fall in, and it is hard to hear, with all this wailing, what is wild and what is not.
