there.

rewriting landscape.

 

Kristin Palm

from The Straits

 

The fort, square in form, is built on firm soil.

It is measured with cords and pickets.

It is set at the bend in the river.

It is constructed of white oak timber.

It is a sculpture.

It commands the city.

It is a testament to our instincts.

It follows mathematical lines.

We will secure the loyalty of these savages
