“Opossum”

Four construction workers draped from head to toe in reflective gear, tear strips of tin roof from the top of the apartment building and toss its 4 by 4 front lawn.

At Nisu, a storm shreds a tree into bits of timber. A day later, the street is occupied by a truck, the back of which is outfitted with a rusted red claw. The claw disperses off the sodden logs, by displacing them in its maw.

An undefinable biomass changes its shape in the shadow of the junkyard. It can fit wherever, even between the tightest of boards. Even if that means, that you must forgo a limb
