LOCALITY
Nicholas Gulig
Came to, placed by this locality. Peopled. In the underbrush our bodies shaded further into making, made. To look upon ourselves beneath the water. There among the current & the faces & the reeds, a landscape. Incompletely met, approachable. The locality swarmed around us. It teemed. Breathed & didn’t breathe as we did. For years, we watched it & we wanted & we gathered. We placed our bodies in because of. We walked upon the land.
