The Portal
…
There’s an anomaly
where the compass fails
in the old woods
near Big Creek. North ain’t north
and south ain’t south. East and west
get flipped on their heads.
…
I, who never gets lost
got lost here…. where the water runs
backwards, then repeats itself
over and over
like a line in a song.
…
It’s where the hairs
on your neck get tickled….
where your mouth grows dry
and you hold your breath.
…
It is the longitude
and latitude of Bigfoot—
my Sasquatch friend.
