The horse stepped on me and took off three of my toenails. I remember gooey puss and blood for weeks. I think my toes recovered ok.

I look down bashfully at my leather hiking boots, I am a foreigner.

What does unravel mean to you?
When I use the word unravel to describe the effect of human actions on Earth’s living systems, I’m invoking the metaphor of the web of life.
Yet the hunger remains, and even today /you can seem them on the horizon / like an impending storm
Not in any lifetimes / will the damage be undone.
