into our arms. maybe what drops into the scene

is not death, but life, the weight

of what we call carrying

killed by salt from rising seas, claimed

for art to haunt the city

with the consequences of climate change. we cut

trees down for coffins, they cradle

our remains without audible complaint. lin

installed those bare-branched cedars
