The forest has so deeply sunk into me that my insides feel emerald green. I am always surprised when I bleed red. If you stay in the forest long enough, it begins to creep inside you, it clings to your body, it twines into your hair, it sneaks under your finger nails, it pulls off your shoes, the raindrops sneak past your clothes and persuades you to take them off. It whispers, "You are an animal, how have you forgotten?"
